When fitting a new brake caliper, the latter is supplied to Parts with no brake fluid; it is therefore necessary to operate as follows:

slacken the bleed screw;

insert the end of a transparent pipe into the bleed screw hole;

using an ordinary container with the recommended brake fluid, insert brake fluid into the caliper until air bubbles emerge from the threaded hole where the hose is connected;

tighten the bleed screw.

1. Place the front brake calipers (1a) complete with pads in their seatings, fix them tightening the bolts (1b) to the specified torque and fit the protective plugs (1c).
