Weimeranerman Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Hi, Can anyone give some advice as to how to change the pads on the front brakes of my YBR125? Having taken a quick look it seems that there are three bolts that need to be undone to remove the unit. Is this correct? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt_Joker Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 This is usualy quite simple There will be either 2 or 3 bolts holding your brake onto the front disc, it is really just a matter of un bolting these and the rest sort of falls together from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirriePete Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Wot he said - generally 2 bolts holding the caliper on the fork leg. Once it's off it's usually quite obvious how the pads are held in, most commonly by a pin or two running through the caliper body, this may be screwed in or locked by some other means (tabs, circlips, etc.) While you're in there it's a good idea to check the sliding pins out and give them a cleanup and a dab of hi-temp grease (copperslip or hi-temp silicone, whichever you can get easiest). Also have a look at the state of the piston - it's sure to have picked up some crud and would benefit from a wee clean, nothing too harsh though, just a bit of wire wool to take the worst off. You're welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weimeranerman Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 Thanks boys! I checked out my socket sets (metric & imperial) against the two bolts and the closest seemed to be 12mm, but even this was not snug. Are they a special size? I don't want to round off the heads!
