Gee m8, this is BRAKES your going to start messing with, and from the very question you've asked I would assume that you havnt done this before, please before just setting off on this wonderous voyage of discovery go buy a manual, or at the very least find a "mate" that has done "it" and can help you,!! where are you located, maybe someone on here could come over and help or at least lend you "the book" :dunno:

I always whip out the wheel, caliper comes off 'slider' as wheel is removed. Take out the old pads, clean caliper........clean everything else you can now get to more easily, put calliper back on slider with wheel going back on at same time. Re-set chain tension and torque up axle nut.

Half hour job if you don't fancy polishing the inside of the swing arm!

Oh and don't forget to clean up the pad pins.

He's right, but having said that - once I bought the book and a mate showed me the first time, I can now change my own brake pads!!!!!!:yo: :yo: :yo: Hurrah!!!!!!! :yo: :yo: IF I can , you can!!! :neenaw:

GEE,
What area are you in, there may be a member nearby who can assist.

It is better to whip out the wheel though, that way you can clean it all up in the process.

Gee...

There is no need to remove the rear wheel to change the rear brake pads.

Simply unscrew the rear pad pin from the rear caliper and slide out the pads... (see the attached image)
