Replacing The Steering Brake Pads
Brake pads are easily replaced by
removing the single bolt securing them
within the brake calliper assembly and
pulling each pad up and out of the calliper.
Pistons have to be pushed back in first,
to allow clearance for the new pads. Slip
the new pads into the calliper and install
the single bolt fastener to secure the pads
in position.
Torque pad pin to 58.8-82.8
in-lb(6.6 Nm -9.5 Nm Pump the steering
handle bar a few times to the left and to the
right to build up proper pressure and to locate the pads in the calliper assembly.
CAUTION
When replacing worn or contaminated pads, replace both pads in the brake caliper
assembly even if both pads do not require replacing. Using one new and one old
brake pad in a caliper assembly may provide poor braking/steering performance.
