5. Secure lifting tool 99 344 to the brake caliper.
• Attach the lifting tool to an overhead hoist using a strap or alternatively in the
gearbox jack, before the brake caliper is removed. It will otherwise fall off.
• Do not lift using the brake pad latch clamp. It is not strong enough for that.
On the front brake calipers, the lifting tool is screwed into the brake chamber screw
holes on the brake caliper.
