Best Answer

Remove the wheel. Use an Allen key to remove the two screws attaching the caliper. I put a long metal bar over the long part of the Allen key for leverage. Lift the caliper off the roter and remove the pads. Use one of the old pads over the caliper piston and a c-clamp to push the caliper piston back into the seat. Be sure to push it all the way in or the caliper will not fit over the rotor once the new pads are installed. I found that the sleves in the caliper where the bolts go also need to be pushed back or they will prevent you from fitting the caliper back on. Then you should be good to go. VBdenny
