Rear Brake Servicing

[darrsi]

I'm not convinced I've the technical confidence to do that Darsi.

Assuming you unbolt the caliper and pull it away from the bike before gently applying pressure on the pedal?
Do you remove the pads or can you get access to the pistons?
Do you then prise the pads apart to refit?

When the bike was serviced they did say the pistons looked ok so I'm assuming the issue is with the seals ?

I hear you, it's a daunting task first time at anything when you're not sure of what you're doing.


I'll see if I can find a video explaining things more visually.


There are two bolts holding the caliper on, and two smaller bolts (pad pins) that secure the brake pads in place. Once the pad pins are removed the pads will drop out. (do not over tighten pad pins when refitting, or they will chew up the caliper thread)
