maffy Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dt502001 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
