3516001 Pad Holder Repair Kit for Mercedes-Benz & Otokar

What does a pad holder repair kit do?

A Brake Pad Retainer Repair Kit is a service set that brings together the retaining bridge, pressure spring, retaining pin, and locking elements that hold the brake pad firmly in its seat inside heavy commercial vehicle disc brake calipers. This component is vital for maintaining the correct radial positioning of the pads while allowing free axial movement during braking cycles.

Compatible vehicle applications

This repair kit is compatible with Mercedes-Benz and Otokar vehicles. It is specifically designed to function within the air brake system of these heavy commercial vehicle models to ensure reliable service life and braking stability.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For professional workshop technicians, it is recommended to renew this kit as a complete set whenever brake pads are replaced. This preventive measure prevents uneven pad wear and noise caused by fatigued springs or seized pins. When selecting the replacement, always verify the caliper type to ensure a perfect fit within the braking assembly.

Preventive maintenance benefits

Regular inspection of the retainer elements can prevent sudden loss of braking performance. Using high-strength components ensures that the pads remain secure even under extreme thermal and mechanical stress during heavy-duty operation.
