Hi Maffy, before people will respond to your question you will need to write an intro in the newbie section.

You cut it off?

yes my mistake I read the how to to change rear brake pads and it says remove rubber grommet and inside is a allen key bolt there was no bolt only a long lug that is in the picture so the caliper was moving about .the only bolts on the caliper that were holding it in place was the 2 sliders that hold the pads in place

so the calipers was moving around on these to long lugs

now I thought the caliper should of been bolted up to stop movment

so I need a new lug

You were reading how to change the pads on a dirt bike ,on yours you remove the rear wheel to remove the caliper.you will need to buy a whole new hanger bracket. Next time just pull the 2 pins holdin the pads in and push the piston back it's a 5 min job to change out pads on that bike

lol wot a cock ill look on ebay now for sombody breaking one went into fowlers and they want 251 for the part but it comes with a new caliper wont make that misstake again

Don't worry about it mate, we have all fucked up at some point lol. How much do they want?

just bought a hanger for £20 it should be hear by next weekend thats good cus im now off to st ives in cornwall for a weeks holiday so i can drown my sorrows

whos a silly boy i am :cussing:

That was a good price
