Okay scary story first...I was riding home from work yesterday morning and hit morning rush hour traffic when the interstate I was riding on came to a stand still through a construction zone. The cars in front of me came to a complete stop and I had no choice but to slam on my brakes. I went to apply my brakes and when I pushed the rear brake lever down it seemed to have no pressure and just went all the way down without slowing the rear wheel so I did the WTF panic and compressed the front brake lever hoping to get my busa stopped before it became inbedded in the back of a pickup truck. I got the bike stopped after using the shoulder of the road and passing 2 stopped cars in the process. I looked down and pushed the rear brake once again and it built pressure back up but still would not stop the rear wheel. I still had about 15 miles to my house so I just took it easy (even after meeting up with a fellow unknown busa owner that wanted to have some 100+MPH fun) I got home safe and looked down at my rear brake caliper and to my suprise the entire thing came off the brake disc due to the 2 bolts holding it on falling completley out.
Okay enough rambling...My question is now that I have my brake pads as tight as they can be up against each other how do I go about getting them apart? Bleeding the lines? I also need to replace the two bolts that hold the caliper up to the brake disk, what size are they and how long? Any help would my greatly appreciated!!! lease:
