bigdamo Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 I have contaminated my disc pads on my SY250. I am going to take them out and bake them in the oven which works on my MTB bike. Any tips for removing and cleaning and replacing the disc pads on a scorpa sy250? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ned1 Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 i'm not sure how to take the pads out although if you take them out, rub them with a fairly course sand paper until there clean and then burn them slightly with a lighter it sterilises the pads and makes them like brand new. Although you also have to de-contaminate the disc aswell, i use terps to do this, you just put sum on a clean rag and wipe the disc down, although remeber to wash the disc very very thourghly afterwards with water!!!

greggjflower Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Buy a can of "brake cleaner". Spray/clean the pads and the disk and wipe off with a rag. Wash both disk and pads with warm soapy water (this is important as otherwise they wont grip properly) sand the pads lightly with fine wet and dry paper and reassemble. A tad og copper grease on the slave cylinder might be a nice detail. Off course if the cause of the poor braking is a leaky fork seal them get that fixed first.
