Re: Rear brake pad replacement calipers Posted by jeff02 [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Rear brake pad replacement, MontereyAero ![]() |
You have to back off the caliper pistons. I do that using a really large screw driver and / or a woodworkers pipe / bar smaller clamp. Usually can simply prey them back. Keep an eye on the break fluid level up front. Some oil change place filled mine to the top and then overflowed when replacing breaks. Have to turkey baster it out if really full. They usually go back a little bit hard, but consistent. I have never had one lock up and not go back, but I did on the older 900s and would have to replace the calipers. Back then you had to turn the piston and then push back.
Anyway, if happening on both sides, then have to find a way to get them back, if only on one side maybe one is jammed somehow?
