Clean & Inspect

Unless something is damaged, the only thing you need to replace is your pads.

Brake Pad Installation

  1. When installing your new pads, you will not be able to see your outside pad, so you will have to feel for the pad retainer. And it will feel like this looks.
  2. Place the outside brake pad fist, and hold it in place with the pin.
  3. Place the inside pad, then install the pad pin.
