Default Re: brake pads

Fitting brake pads is very very easy with a little common sense. You shouldn't even need a step by step. The calipers will have a bolt which you remove and will allow you to swing the caliper off the disc (taking the pads with it) - the pads then slide out of the caliper (dont throw the metal backing pieces away, you will need them for the new pads). Make sure you prise the pistons in the caliper as far apart as possible, put the old metal backing pieces on the new pads (make sure you get them the same way round as they came off) and replace back into the caliper. Swing the caliper back to the disc and put the bolt back in.
