Title: Help replacing front brake pads
Post by: BikerMedic on February 07, 2015, 04:21:01 PM
I have a 95, and my brakes look different than in the video I see on youtube. I can't figure out how to separate the pieces of the caliper, and I can't find anything online, on this forum, or in the factory service manual. Please help!

Well... I went at it with a c-clamp like I was trying to break it, turns out the reason it was so frustrating is that it was just in dire need of some lubricant. The slides were fairly seized up, but I busted them loose and may yet be able to use the caliper again. I'll find out when my new brake hose comes in.
