Rear brakes... what I did wrong and where to go now?

[max]

Bob here are some pictures to explain how to get the new pads in;

This part of the pad rests on the support ledge from the caliper carrier ( no 9 in Popgun's link is a stainless clip that lets the pads slide easy as they wear over time ) ;


The rear 12mm.bolt needs to be removed to access the pads and the caliper lifted forward some,
the forward hex bolt stays in place;


Rest the new pad closest to the piston onto the support ledge, push it upward against the spring ( no7 in the fiche picture in Popgun's link )
and put the pin through it to hold it in place.
then put the other pad in place on it's support ledge and push it upward against the spring;


Push the pin through it and start it a few turns to keep it in it's place;



Should look like this;


see next post for next steps but sofar this took 5 minutes.
Check that the bushing for the 12mm. bolt can move freely to allow for sideways movement as the pads wear down.
Tilt the caliper down in place for the 12mm. bolt to go back in it's place;


When all is back into place make sure the groove in the alu part that holds the caliper ( caliper carrier ) is securely around the flat piece that is on the singarm;


When finished the caliper should look like this from the side;


So the hard part is to get the pads to sit on their support ledge before tilting them upward against the spring that prevents them from rattling and keep them there i.e. put the pin in one pad at the time, just go over the post several times so you get the idea.

See how you go there and don't forget to test the brales for correct operation before going for a test drive, the pads need to be close to the disk!
