Block the rod and tighten to a torque of 7.5 Nm +/- 10% (sect. 3 - 3, Frame torque settings) the nut (29) on the fork (31).
Fit the pushrod assembly (18) on the lever (6) fixing it with the quick-release fastener (30).
Check that the adjuster screw (27) and nut (28) are positioned at the distance apart shown.
Apply specific grease to the non-threaded surface of the pin (9).
Fit the first o-ring (11) in the pin (9).
Insert the pin (9) on the brake lever (6), apply the recommended grease to the seat of the second o-ring (11) of the lever (6) and place the other o-ring (11) and the washer (3).
