July 8, 201214 yr if you need to ask that question you shouldn't be messing with brakes. you are messing with the safety of yourself and everybody around you.
July 9, 201214 yr front or rear? Have you any experience with newer disc brake systems? (not a joke, the level of detail in the answer will depend on your answer). Jon Edited July 9, 201214 yr by jse
July 9, 201214 yr Author hi not on bike ive done car brakes. ive only taken the wheel off i havant touched anything else. sorry this is the rear wheel. so how doi replace them?
July 9, 201214 yr Take the rear wheel off. There should usually be two long wire clips at the top of the caliper that go through the two top holes of the pads to hold them in. When you look at the retaining clips you'll see how they should come out, usually just pulling them will work. The pads will just fall out. Put the two new ones in and re-install the clips, lever the pads apart a little with a large screwdriver (so the disc will fit in) and put the wheel back on. They may need a short break-in time to grip well so expect them to be slightly "weak" at first. Jon
