Vinson Brakes

Vinson Brakes
I just replaced the brakes less then a year ago on my 02 vinson and I need to do the rear brakes again. I had the dealer do them the last time however I would like to try it myself this time, I was looking at it the other night however I couldn't figure out how to get pads off, can anybody share their knowledge with me on how to perform this task?

From what I remember, there are 2 allen head bolts holding the caliper on. I've replaced my rears and fronts once. It is probably about time to replace the rears again. Use a large screwdriver to pry the caliper in all the way so the new brake pads will go on. When your brake fluid gets low, that is a good indication that the pads are getting low too.

Be carefull with using a screwdriver. I tore the seal on a caliper once doing that. In my opinion using a c-clamp or some sort of pliars is safer but if your carefull a screwdriver will work. I also take the break fluid resevoir cap loose to allow the fluid to raise without building pressure.
