Performance Characteristics

The Bosch 0 986 479 is engineered to maintain consistent braking force even after repeated high‑temperature exposure. Its cast‑iron construction offers:

• High thermal conductivity: Quickly dissipates heat, preventing brake fade.
• Excellent wear resistance: Extends the life of both the disc and accompanying brake pads.
• Low noise signature: Smooth contact with pads reduces squeal and chatter during everyday driving.

Installation Overview

Installing the Bosch 0 986 479 is straightforward for technicians familiar with rear brake systems. The process typically involves:

1. Remove the wheel and existing disc: Use a lug wrench to loosen bolts, then lift the vehicle safely.
2. Clean the hub surface: Ensure no debris or old grease interferes with mounting.
3. Align the new disc: Position it over the wheel hub and secure with the supplied mounting hardware.
4. Reinstall brake pads: Fit compatible pads that match the disc’s dimensions.
5. Torque specifications: Tighten all bolts to the manufacturer’s recommended torque settings for optimal safety.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the disc regularly for signs of wear, scoring, or glazing.
• Replace brake pads when pad thickness falls below 3 mm to avoid metal‑to‑metal contact.
• Clean the disc surface with a non‑abrasive cleaner to remove brake dust and prevent corrosion.
