Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Sealing Ring Foot Brake, Front And Rear
Braking
The sealing ring (11) is tensioned by means of the adjuster piston being pressed against the brake disc.
Resting position
The tension in the sealing ring (11), which was previously generated by applying the brakes, causes the adjuster piston to be pushed back to the resting position. When the brake pads are worn, the piston is pressed through the sealing ring until the brake pads come into contact with the brake disc. This produces a self-adjustment between brake disc and brake pad.
