Pretty simple.- remove the tire- remove the caliper bolts (12mm wrench) you'll need a crescent to hold the one side so it doesn't spin- remove the old pads (should just slide out)- remove the two bolts on the pad assembly (13mm wrench) - rotor should just pull off- take a c-clamp and push the piston on the caliper back in all the way

  • Tip tie the caliper the the spring of the shock so your not putting strain on the brake line.

- clean new rotor with brake cleaner - put new rotor on, be careful not to touch the surface, if you do clean it again.- bolt the pad assembly back- slide in the new pads (use the old ones for reference) - slide the caliper back into position and bolt down using the crescent again to hold the one side.- install tire
