Hi Trying to change pad on rear. Take circlip off on exhaust side - done. Then take pin out, however on the chain side there is nothing to pull pin do i tap it out from the other side? (its a bit stiff as probably not been done for 2 years) but judt wanted to know before going in with wd 40 and hammer... Also any other tips? Apparently i wil need to take caliper off to move pistons to get new pads which is a bit concerning... Thanks
soooo yes hammer pin out with a punch... then off etc as per. manual and clip putting back was fun. anyway.. omg new pads make an amazing difference in braking and old ones not really 3 qtrs gone, guess these new brembo sinthered compound better..
Taking the rear caliper not that difficult just awkward, just make sure that you have good allen key inserted fully and use a quick twist motion to get the 2 bolts off as its behind the chain inside the wheel space. Pads were a little difficult but achievable with a bit of patience and with a little persistent strong pressure using the old pad each piston went back eventually very slooooowwly. all in all quite achievable.
