Changing Brake Pads

[Vlad Ilushin]

Do you need a special tool to push in the rear caliper piston or any C-clamp will do?

Rear piston screws in with needle nose pliers.  Front piston pushes in with the end of a screw driver and a bit of muscle.

what mike said.

i just changed my pads on the front about a week ago on my x-drilled.  I picked up a set of metal masters, $39 with our lordco discount and about 30 minutes to install, those couple 14mm is the only pain on the back side and those are really the only two bolts.  I suggest getting a type of brake lubricant and do the pins that go into the caliper.

I used the old brake pad a a flat surface and a c-clamp, only do one side at a time or your just gonna push the other side out if you clamp one of the pistons down.
