Rear Brake Caliper

[Powers739]

Well, I just typed a long write up and lost it.

So, now this is short.  Bad day, I wasn't paying attention when I pulled the pin and the clips sprung out and I am not sure if I got it back right.

Thanks in Advance...

Sorry, I didn't clean up the little bit of assembly grease I used on the pins during re-installation...and all the oher crap...

Ted,
Your retaining clips should be on the inside, not the outside...

+1, clips on the inside.

Yup. MC got it.

If mounted backwards the pad will wear quickly.

Yea, I'm going to clean them, but I am going to clean them while mounted on the bike, I can use a toothbrush on them a little better. That's what Winter is for...

As far as wearing them down prematurely...hell I hardly ever use the back brake, I only changed them because I had the pads sitting there (Galfer's) saying "use me...use me" and I never changed them out (14k miles), so I thought it was time to learn....
