can anyone give me a step by step guide on how to change the front and rear brakes on a 1997 honda 250 recon. thanks

 

its not rocket science but a few pointers are helpful.
1. notice how the retractor springs are placed. they have a long end and a short end.
2. notice which end of the shoes go where. the ends are different.
3. if there is a ~30mm nut involved on the rear axel you will need an impact wrench for removal
4. clean & lube the adjusters and set them out as far as possible and still get the drum on.

i have replaced them on a rancher but not on a recon but i suppose they are similiar.

 

thanks for the pointers, its pretty much like putting brakes on a vehicle. I just didn't want to screw this fourwheeler up now after 11 years lol, and i just needed to prove that i knew what i was doing.
