Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the vehicle is compatible with part number 102.09720 before installation. Since mounting hardware is not included, reuse existing hardware or purchase separately (hardware kit number 117.90010). Verify that pad wear sensors are properly connected if applicable, as these pads are prepared for sensor installation but do not include sensors. Clean the caliper and rotor surfaces before installing new pads to ensure optimal contact and performance. Follow manufacturer torque specifications when securing brake components.
