y2kbanshee9187 Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 Is there a trick to putting on new brake pads? Cant seem to fit the new ones in there. I tried loosening them and stuff, still couldnt get it. thanks Ben Quote
Banshee17Racing Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 What do you mean by loosening? Just like brakes on a car...you've got to take the cap off of the brake res. and push the slave cylinder back in, they should fit after you do that. Quote

kw04 Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 do you have a parking brake? if you do did you loosen the adjuster on it that could be giving you the problem. Quote
PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 When I replaced mine I had them off so I laid them on the bench and set an appropriate sized socket on the plunger and tapped it back in with a dead blow hammer, shot brake fluid all over when I did it though. Quote
