Re: Front Brakes and Brake Fluid

Thanks, i did it, wasnt sure if i was supposed to take the screw out. Bit i did. I put grease on back of brake pad and then put that flat metal bracket thing against brake pad then a little more grease on that then installed pads. Brake lever feels a little better. Less squishy. No squeeks.

Re: Front Brakes and Brake Fluid

Sounds like a job well done. I can honestly say I've never replaced pads on a bike.............ever. Brake shoes on the rear once on a dirt bike, that's it. I feel blessed and so out of touch sometimes. :lol:

Yeah.
The fluid is pretty messy.
Make sure you have plenty of rags lying around for clean up afterwards.
It's a tough job sometimes. Just keep squeezing until it comes out.
Once you get a firm feel to it, you'll know you're almost done.

Ahhhhh, motorcycle innuendo.
