Thank you for this video, I just replaced my rear brake pads on my F650GS DAKAR after watching your video today, you saved me a lot of time and trouble!😆
Thumbs Up!!! Your video shows that one must drive the pad retaining pin from the caliper to then slide it out. Bravo, sure helped me, even on a Scarver... Thanx for ur Post
Good video over all, I have a F650 GS dakar. if you get very uneven wear on the pads it's probably means that the caliper is not floating properly. I would check that. I would also prefer to use proper copper grease.
The reason one pad is wearing faster than the other os because your caliper is dragging. This is common on these calipers, the culprit is rubber seals on the pin.
I've just changed my rear brake pads but I can't get the inside pad (non piston side) in as it seems to thick? How do you alter the position of the brake caliper so the pad goes in?
This is overall a very good review of how to changer the brake pads, one hint because the brake calliper is floating side to side when you go to tap the pin out it shifts across the shaft absorbing the tap . you need to put something heavy and probably metal on the inside of the calliper then the pin will pop out easily. The rest is easy.
Nice demonstration. But if I may says: Please don't use compressed air to clean brakes or clutches. The particles created by them are very small and not healthy. May be, they are not asbestos, but sure you don't want to breath that dust anyway.
