Guest Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 undo it dale. Loosen ya fluid cap then ease ya pads apart and take out the old ones then put in ya new ones. Quite easy really mr winton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 haynes maual, allen keys, sockets and some copper grease and new pads.theres a pin (allen head, No10) which holds the pads, and 2 bolts (No15) which holds the caliper to the forks, undo all whilst still attached (its easier) then remove caliper, push piston back and remove pads.replace with new pads, which have been greased on the back, and fit back over disc.replace nuts bolts and allen pin, and do up tight.pump lever to return pads to disc and then push the bike forward and press brake this will help to bed them in..take it easy and use brakes often to settle everything in..

argentum40 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 is it possibe that they changed calipers for different years of the bike?.. i know with cars if your motor was on a changover year ordering parts could be a nightmare as sometimes they had a mix of old and new... if not ring wemoto up and explain as i have had good dealings with them and they always help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
