Tips for changing pads

We had to take the resevour cap off and remove a bit of brake fluid because it was to full... trying to push them pistons in with it on was a bit of a challenege, in the end we got a clamp on it but still had to take the cap of it off because of the presure was pushing the piston back out once we let go of it.. all good to learn though!

 

my wife just uses the one with wings on them, quite easy to change apparently

 

Pretty happy with how the back brake came out,

From this


To this


Got as much of the dirt n grit off as i could.. i cleaned all the parts under the pistons that are still caked once i push the pistons back in

 

Don't forget about the amount of oil in the reservoir?

 

Forgot to check that actually will make sure i do that when i go out next will probably have to remove some, didnt have the problems with pushing the pistons in like the front both went in without problem

 

Good news got the little allen key part thing out of the swing arm no problems.. only took a minute or 2

 

TFFT What with ?

 

you know were you adjust the wheel alignment, well i took the bolts off (with the wheel still tight n everything so it wouldnt change anything) on the side that it was in and that then made the back cover of the swing arm come off, then all i done was get a screw driver which had a magnet on the end and dragged it out.

 

Good man
