Fitting Rear Pads (Quick Question)

[cjewkes]

Hi,
I am just in the process of fitting new rear pads on my 172 Cup, and on the new rear pads there seems to be a raised notch which i have put Piston side, just wanted to check if this is right before i put it all back together.

Cheers in advance

yes but make sure it sits in the groove in the piston

Cheers mate, we have put them in that way, we have pumped the brakes but they don't seem to be working, any suggestions>?

 

[Fred@BTM]

the rear brakes don't really work on a cup anyway

just make sure the nobble is sat in the groove of the piston otherwise you'll have problems!

you will be able to turn the rear wheels even with the foot brake on

How do you actually get the old pads out lol?
I've removed the long wire clips on top of each pad, and then the tiny little wire clip thing on the bit of metal on one end of the caliper?

Tap that metal bit out and the pads will come out
