Title: Font caliper
Post by: SWEET-TL1000R on March 16, 2004, 07:20:28 PM
I just pulled the front caliper off and don't understand how the pads come off.  Maybe I'm just a lil slow :dunno:   Can anyone help me?

Thanks! :thumb:

On 96+ models, there should be a pin that goes through the caliper and both pads.  THe pin is held in with a clip.  Remove the clip and then slide the pin out.  The brake pads should be free to come out now.  

Not sure about pre 96 models.

the smaller brake pad comes out easy...the larger one has 2 bolt like pieces holding it...just push those bolt (things) toward the caliper and then you can pull the pad out
