1100A Brake Calliper Removal

<< < (2/2)

alans1100:
Managed to complete the LH side though some leverage was needed to even move the caliper along the guide pins.

Some grease was still there but for the most part had dried out. Cleaned off the old grease and regreased the pins. All rubbers are ok so filled them with grease as well.

Took a few minutes to get both guides in together and caliper moving freely on the pins.

Checked the SMC linkage before remounting the caliper.

Pads are still ok but the inner showing a little more wear. Pads back in with the backing plate this time since they wouldn't go in when the pads were new.

Pumped up the front brake and I can see the caliper move as the pistions put presure on the disc. Checked the right side and nothing moves.

alans1100:
RH side done this afternoon which leaves the rear to be done.

Don't really want to remove the wheel just to grease up a few pins. Will look around and see what I can find to support the wheel while I slide the axle out.

Brock:
You shouldnt need to remove the wheel, though you may need to pull the pads.

I could be wrong of course.
