looks like its time to replace the rear brakes on the bike. can the pads be changed without bleeding them??

 

Haven't need to do pads yet, but I think that calipers come off and there are just little clips holding the pads in.

 

yeah they can be change w/o bleeding...almost the same procedure i do to car brakes....u'll need a small C clamp to press in the caliper

 

thanks for the reply!!!!

 

easy as pie!!

 

yeah and u can use the same technique when u do the front brakes...cars or bikes..but u'll need a bigger C-clamp for the car

 

yup... it was really easy. the front brakes will be a while so we will see then!

 

only time you realy need to bleed in pad maitnance is when you get the calipers stuck together (good use for the c-clamps) only reason i bled the brakeson my XR was beacuse i also put on some steel braided lines. bleeding isnt really a big deal, takes maybe and hour if you do it right the first time.
