Meat Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 unbolt caliper from brake stay mount for the rear caliper or unbolt em from the spindles if your working on the fronts. remove brake ressy cap use a C-clamp to press the piston back into the caliper remove the two allen head bolts that are holding the brake pads, these bolts are called 'pins'. remove the old pads, and install the new ones. ???? Profit Do not remove the brake lines from the calipers Put some anti-seize compound on the brake pins when you press the piston back into the caliper, make sure you press it all the way in. Quote
malcman Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 I don't know how much the piston will push the fluid up but I would have someone watch the reservoir to make sure you don't overflow it, brake fluid will make a real mess. I would also suggest looking for a Banshee repair manual, it pays for itself the first time you use it. They are pretty easy to do on Banshees, Meat has the steps down pat. Quote
