Front wheel

davidc83 · 08-11-2007, 04:14 PM

Hey guys,
what tool do you use to remove the front wheel? I think I need to replace the front disk pads and I know I dont have the correct tool so I will have to purchase one.

Also,
Isnt there supposed to be a mark to let us know when the pad is worn down? I look but cant see what the manual refers to.
Does anyone have a picture of the front disk pads and what the wear mark is supposed to look like.
Thanks.

In the service manual on page 2-13 there is a drawing which shows the location of the wear mark on the front pads. You don't have to remove the front

wheel to change the pads either. It is a very easy job. Page 5-8 in the service manual shows you how to remove your caliper and pads. The service manual

can be downloaded in the General Maintenance section of this site. Good luck.

Thanks, I had a duh moment. I have the owners and service manual both in electronic format and forgot to check the service manual, was just looking in the owners manual.
