Do you have to take off rear wheel to do the rear brakes if not how do you do it??
hi,if you are only replacing the pads then there is no need to take the wheel off,simply undo the two bolts holding the caliper to the carrier,remove the caliper from the disc,push the brake pads back (with a screwdriver or something similar),flip the caliper over,remove the plastic cover(if fitted),remove the"r"clips that hold the brake pins in(some models have external bolts and cut plates or tabs but they all do the same job of holding the brake pins in),once you have the clips out,the pins will slide out and the pads will be able to be removed,replace the pads and reassemble opposite to removal,easy job should take about 20 mins from start to finish.dont forget ,once you have the caliper back on to pump the brake lever a few times untill the pads seat against the disc and you have full brake pressure again..hope this helps...cheers
