the rotor thickness is less than 1.55 mm, replace it with a new

Elixir calipers are self-adjusting. The pistons need to be pushed
back into the body to their original position before the new pads
can be installed. The safest way to do this is with the old pads still
in the caliper to protect the pistons. Place a flat-blade screwdriver
between the old pads, then carefully rock it back and forth,
pushing the pistons back into their bores.

place.
6. RE-install Pad REtainER bolt
Replace the pad retainer bolt, tighten to 0.6-0.9 N•m (5-8 in-lb),
and replace the "E" clip on the wheel side of the caliper.
