Gestern habe Ich meine Bremsbelaege vorn erneuert.

Hier ist meine workshop. Es ist in English weil es zu schwer fuer mich ist um das im Deutsch zu schreiben.

Dagegen gibt es viel Bilder so vielleicht koennt ihr es entziffern. :wink:

Soll toll sein wenn ein von ihr dass uebersetzen kann.

Gruesse,

Yoan.

Today I mounted my brake-pads at the front. I chose to demount the whole caliper. You can also renew your pads by not demounting the caliper but personally I like workspace and it gives you the opportunity to clean your brake-pistons.

This workshop showes the left calliper. The right is the same method.

TOOLS

Allan keys
Flat bladed/Philips screwdriver
Sandpaper
Brake-cleaner
Brake-fluid
copper slip

check your brake-fluid level. When you oush the brake-pistons back into the calliper the level will rise. If the level is too high you can lower it a bit by bleeding.

Remove A whilst the caliper is still mounted to the fork. You will be able to use more force then. These screws are often very tight so use a bit of bodyweight. Remove the screw and LOOSEN (not remove) the allan pad pin.
Loosen and remove the bolts B and push backwards the whole caliper and release it from the disk. Push aside the hoses, a bit of juggling (careful for the rim) until the caliper is free from the fork..

Remove pad-pin C by pulling it out.

Now you can remove the pads

Push the brake-pistons back into the caliper. Use your fingers or an old brake-pad (watch the brakefluid level!)

Put a little copper slip on the backside of the pads.(original the pads are accompanied by shims against sqeeking. You can use those if you want to with your new pads..

Make sure the end of each pad locates correctly against the guide in the bracket.

Clean the pad pin with some sandpaper and grease it a bit with copper-slip

Mount the pad near to the pistons by pushing the pad pin C through the hole in the caliper and the pad. Push the pads a bit down while you do this.. You can feel there’s a spring at the bottom of the caliper.

Add the second pad en tighten the padpin. NOT LOCKTIGHT!!! You can use more strength when the caliper is mounted again to the fork.

Put the caliper back on the fork and disc and tighten bolts B. Tighten the pad-pin and mount screw A.(add a tiny bit of copper slip on the screw)

Do the same method for the right caliper

Check fluidlevel, Fill up if neccesary, bleed the front brake and pump the lever a couple of times until ypu feel the pressure again and feels tight again. I once forgot to do that and my first braking I did on the road nothing happened. So beware. COLOR]
