Re: Need to change front break pads

I just replaced my front brake pads, 13 bucks free shipping off ebay.

Same shape just don't have the numbers on the backs of the pads like original.

Loosen up the 5mm allen bolt that slides through the brake pads. On mine I took off the two caliper bolts first then had a time getting that 5mm bolt off to get the pads off.

Reminder to have rags under the master cylinder and another one ready to wipe off brake fluid as it eats paint and plastics.

Bleeding the brakes was a bit of a pain for me I don't have a vacuum bleeder, harbor freight got them pretty cheap. I used a dry water bottle and a length of spare fuel line. When I got done I wiped the line and rinsed out with water and dried out.
