Changing Brake Pads & Fluid

Is there a guide somewhere??

Have you looked in the downloads section?

Have you got uk spec brakes? if so i hope you have a high tolerance level when it comes to removing them pins:twak: i had a nightmare with mine, grinder got involved and everything

If they havent binded then its a piece of piszle.

Take the wheel off,

take the clip off that hold the pins in place,

gently (trying not to mushroom the head) knock the pins out,

Use a big screwdriver or something to push your pistons back in (you may want to take off your brake fluid cap),

pull your pads out,

replace with new,

and then put your pins and clips etc back in.

Bobs your uncle.

Changing the fluid isnt too difficult either, although its alot easier with two people, there will be a write up on here somewhere

If you struggle getting to the pins you may need to take the caliper off, its held on with two bolts at back, 17mm, they are tight as a fooker !!

Jap brakes, thought it was straight forward just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.

Jap Brakes are even easier, There are 2 14mm bolts holding the caliper to the sliding bracket... Undo those and remove the front of the caliper (Make sure you dont let them hang as you will damage the brake lines)

Then take out pads and replace... Check you have the complete shim kit, and use copper grease...

Undo the brake fluid cap and use a large pair of grips to push the pistons back in (Do Slowley) Ide recomend putting an old pad over the pistons when you do this so you dont damage the piston..

Refit.... Job done!
