llandudno_trialsboy Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 isnt there a split-pin or a bolt you can take. if there is take em out and they should just drop out. have a good look first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny Shoe Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 No the hydraulic fluid will not leak out when you remove them, the fluid is only used to push the pads in not surround them. There should be a split pin on the outside of the caliper which will allow the pads to release, unfortunately they can be very tricky to get back in again. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
