Obby Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 How do you change the rear brakes? I removed the bolt in the front of the calliper. What else needs to come off? -Obby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickrad Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 The only thing you need to remove is the #18. Pads should slide right out after you take that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in PA Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Yeah, and on that note all you guys with #16, throw it away, and replace with #22. It's a rubber cap. I'm glad I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obby Posted November 8, 2004 Author Share Posted November 8, 2004 I'll give a look see for the one. I think I removed #13. Didn't see #18. Maybe it's hidden by a rubber plug or something. My Micron exhausts are right in the way. Makes it hard to see anything. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northman Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Depends on which year your bike is. The newer ('01-up) bikes use a rubber plug, while the '00-older use a threaded plug that has uses a slotted screwdriver for removal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaine Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Also you 'll need to push on the calipers to move the pistons back in, to give you space to remove the old brake pads and install the new one. It takes a bit of extended pressure to move the brake fluid back up to the reservoir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
