10. A rubber band must be wound around the piston to prevent the piston from slipping out of the brake cylinder. Wire clamps can also be used for this purpose.
11. Clean all parts, including the shield, thoroughly. If gasoline is used for cleaning, it should not get on the rubber covers of the wheel cylinder piston. If the coating is worn to a thickness of 0.5 mm below the rivet heads (or the thickness of the linings together with the material of the brake pads themselves is 2.5 mm), install new brake pads.
12. The pads can be changed separately, but it is still better not to do this.
13. If the wheel cylinder piston shows signs of leakage, it must be replaced as described in chapter 12.
