Using a 4-mm Allen Wrench, take off the bolt and spring then
slide pads out of the assembly. If the pads look glossy or
shiny, you will need to rough up the surface with a wire
brush. After doing so, the pads need to be saturated with
silicone lubricant. Tighten the bolt and spring to the pads only
finger-tight. This will create longer life for the brake pads on
your bike.
Turn the resistance knob all the way to the right,
(maximum resistance) and let sit for a couple of hours. This
will compress the guide rod springs allowing space between
the pads and the flywheel.

3. PROBLEM:
Brake pads are off center
SOLUTION:
a. Use a 10-mm wrench to loosen the nylon nut on the front of
the bike. This will allow you adjust the brake assembly until
the brakes are evenly spaced from the flywheel. Retighten the
nylon nut using moderate torque.
