I need to replaced the back pads.

I check the manual but doesn't said much

[Zoinks!]

Sorry, that's about the only thing I've done and didn't take pics of.

It's pretty straight foward. Take the caliper off the bracket. (2 bolts) Do not disconnect the brake line. Pads are pretty easy to figure out how to get off.

Since the new pads will be a little thicker than the old ones, you'll need to push the piston back in just a tad so you can slide the caliper with the new pads back over the rotor. You can actually take a big screwdriver and pry the old pads apart a bit before you remove them, or the preferred way is to use a C clamp after you remove the pads. If you want, I can walk you through it on the phone. PM me if so.

The hardest part is getting the stock cotter pin thingee back in. Just takes patience and curse words.

You can change the pads without removing the caliper

If you make it through without cursing please write up instruction on how you did it without screaming obscenities at that stupid specialized piece o crap.

Remember, those twp pins have two small holes for that funky looking clip-pin to go through...... :oldcool:
