Change Your Disc Pads

To be sure of getting the correct pads , buy the ones made by the manufacturer of the brakes

First remove the wheel

Sometimes you ’ ll have to remove the axis which holds the pads in the caliper . This axis is threaded and held by a circlip

The tiny circlip is removed with a screwdriver . Don ’ t lose it

Now unscrew the axis which holds the pads in the caliper

The manufacturer also supplies a new spring with the new pads
