thanks,

Hey,

oh come on guys. i'm confident somebody out there was replaced the rear brake pads on their Warrior. how do the pads mount?

thanks,

It's simple. Take off the caliper(Two bolts). Take out the two bolts that hold the pads. Remove old pads. Loosen the cover on the master cylinder. Use a c-clamp and an old pad to push the caliper plunger back. Tighten cover on master cylinder. Put pads in place with the bolts. Put caliper back on rotor. Line up bolt holes and put bolts in. Tighten. Work brake lever to bring pads against rotor. Check brake fluid level when done. Thats it. almost just like a car. Brakes work need to wear a little to the rotor before they work real good so be careful.

 

2 bolts hold the caliper on, 2 pins hold the pads in. Loosen the top bolt, take the bottom bolt out so the caliper will swing upwards. Bend the tabs on the bolt-pins that hold the pads in and take them out. Take off the lid to the brake resivour, take a c-clamp and slowly push the piston back into the caliper. Put your new pads in, the bolt-pins in, slide the caliper over the rotor, put the bottom bolt in, make sure everything is tight. It's pretty easy actually, get a clymers manual after you pick the warrior up, it'll help bunches! Oh and don't forget to put the resivour lid back on!

 

One more thing. If you put a little Anti-seeze on the treads to all the bolts, they will come out easier the next time. Just a little though. You don't want any to get on the pads or rotor.
