Be aware that the inner pad with the spring on the back is sided. It fits with the awwor marked on the back of the pad in the direction of rotation of the wheel. This biases the pad to rest on the correct part of the caliper and avoid a knock every time you brake.
Personnally I always undo the bleed nipple before pressing the piston back. If you saw the debris that can come out of a caliper you would not want to force that up to the ABS pump. Regards Peter

All three systems guide pins are 30nm, calliper bracket bolts FN3 system 190nm, calliper bracket bolts FNRG60 system 196nm, calliper bracket bolts 2FNR 42AL system 190nm.

FN3 system & 2FNR 42AL system have counter sunk bolt 5nm. 2FNR 42AL system has no bolts disc is only held on by wheel bolts.

Only system FN3 has inner pad with direction marking, the other two system the inner pad does not need to be fitted in any special direction as per service guide directions.

The only other two system that the guide talks about is the RS6 or ceramic brakes.

My system was FNRG60 and youtube video link is that system...
