cabby Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Most brakes are pretty much the same, remove from fork, undo bolt on right hand side of caliper, remove pin oppisite bolt, pads fall out, repeat t'other way round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totalshell Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 piece of cake they'll fall out! whip the reservoir caps/ lids off when you push the cylinders back into the calipers and you ll wonder what you worried about.. put some coppa silp on the back so they dont squeal..

hrcmonty Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) As i've said in another post. It looks like i'm advertising, but im not. It's just that Trials uk have some good easy to follow How 2 videos on their site, that cover things like this. Have a look, there Banner pops up all over Trials Central.

pauldalgarno Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Also, don't squeeze the brake lever while the caliper's off, you might pop the piston seals. I do it often, and it's annoying to have to bleed the brakes when you don't need to.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauldalgarno Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Dont do what i have just done and strip the the bolt in the caliper Adam I've also done this with the exhaust flange on the cylinder head. Helicoils repair sets are excellent! A bodger's dream, but practice on something less valuable than a cylinder head, or fork leg first!
