Rather than start a new topic I'll reopen this one.
Fitted the new brake pads today at 164660 km so that's the 4th set since new. LH front inner pad was the worst so made sure all three callipers were moving left to right before putting new pads in.
For the basic pad change there isn't really much to it. This time I used the Goldfren ceramic pads instead of the usual OEM sintered metal ones.
A screw driver to remove the cover for the pad retaining bolt. Front LH shown but all three ABS/CBS callipers are the same (96 and newer).
Then remove the pad retaining bolt and the pads should just about fall out (front).
I noticed the LH Front inner pad was worn worse than the outer so calliper possibly sticking and not moving left to right so before putting new pads in make sure calliper moves freely.
You will also need to make sure all three pistons are pushed back in which is better done before you remove the pads.
The new pads should go in easily if all the pistons have been push back in. The pad retaining bolt won't go in if the pad isn't seated properly and with the front it's better to do the outer pad first as you can use the retaining bolt to keep it in place while doing the inner pad. Lightly grease the retaining bolt as well. When the inner pad is in place slide the retainer bolt in and then tighten it up and replace the cover.
Unlike the standard 1100 the ABS/CBS model requires front and rear pads to be changed at the same time as you're using both front and rear brakes regardless if your using hand or foot brakes.
I did mine with the callipers and wheel in place but doing a pad replacement at the same time as a front tyre replacement might be easier.
If it's time to do a fluid change then do that as well which I did.
Once it's all done you will have to pump the brakes a few times before going for that all important test ride around the block. Just make sure the brakes work before you leave home. Test the hand and foot brakes separately and then both together a few times especially if you've replaced the fluid.
I adjusted the rear brake light switch as well as it never seemed to activate as early as the front brake.
