take the caliper off and there should be 2 bolts to undo then whip the pads out (take note of where everything goes!) push the pistons in, put new pads on, put bolts back in then put caliper back on bike, pump brake lever till all is working then bed them in. :D

Yes, although I'd appreciate it if you filled out more of your profile and started off with an Introduction in the Intro thread ;)

I did have a long reply all typed out, but it's at the office PC and I'm onsite now... at fecking 1am on a Friday night!!

Gimme until Monday, I'll add some details in.

Also, there's a thread from me somewhere with lots of info for doing Dragstar brakes, which are pretty much the same as the Viggie, IIRC.

Thanks for adding your info, BTW. Useful to know whereabouts people are, in case we know of good local services.

Hope you enjoy being part of the forum.
