Ok guys here I am again ,got most of my parts that make the nevada run well ,like oil filter ,rocker covers as asked by my new maintainence man ,Charlie ,you know who you are ,and got my rear brake pads today in the mai lfrom Melbourne ,so heres the question I need answered .
Do I just need to remove the 2 bolts holding the caliper to the disc ,or is there more involved ,as they are the only thing needing replacing at the moment ,can it bew done by me or would I require a hand?yours in getting help Peter
 
That's about it.
You'll need a 8 or 10mm (don't remember) and a 13 mm key (Nut on the backside of the caliper).
There's a small retaining ring on the pad fixing pin (or whatever you call it) be careful, and don't loose it.

Open up the pad-gap (force them back) before you remove the old pads. That way you don't need to scratch the new pads when mounting the caliper again.

Grease the mounting bolts with a little aluminum grease or equal heat resistant grease before mounting.

There's also that springy wire clip that launches off to the far side of the garage when you pull out the pin from the caliper. Took me ages to find that again :lol:

Having to catch the train for two weeks is powerful motivation for searching hard. :lol:
