5.9. REAR BRAKE PADS
5.9.1. REPLACING THE REAR BRAKE PADS
• Place the vehicle on the stand.
•
Remove the rear brake calliper.
WARNING
Do not pull the rear brake lever when the
calliper has been removed as this could cause
the piston to come out of its housing and
determine brake fluid leakage.
• Remove the stop ring (1).
WARNING
Before removing the pin (2), check the position
of the safety spring (3); refit in the same
position.
•
Remove the pin (2) and collect the safety spring (3).
• Remove the two pads (4) and collect the noise
dampening plates.
WARNING
Do not pull the brake lever when the pads are
not in place or the calliper pistons might come
out of their housing, thus causing brake fluid
leakage.
•
Replace the anti-vibration plates if worn.
WARNING
When refitting the anti-vibration plates, make
sure the arrows point in the direction of travel.
• Fit the two new pads together with the anti-vibration
plates, fit them so the holes match those on the
calliper.
WARNING
Always change both pads and ensure they are
correctly in place inside the calliper.
•
Fit the safety spring (3).
• Keeping the centre of the safety spring (3) pressed,
insert the pin (2) so it passes over it.
• Fit the stop ring (1).
•
Check the brake fluid level
