Title: Front Break Pads
Post by Peter Smalz on 06/12/04 at 12:50:49

Im trying to replace the front break pads on my savage. I have the main part off of the disc, but i have no idea what to do next. I am trying to undo the bolt with an allan key, but it wont budge. Its the bolt that goes through the top center of each pad, am i doing something wrong? Any help would be helpful heh,
Thanks

To get the pads out you defenitly have to undo the allen key bolt. Get a hex. insert in and give it a sharp blow with a hammer. Next wiggle a big screwdriver between the pads and push the piston in to make room for the thicker pads.

Hey thanks for the help, fortunately i figured it out before i read your repy. I had to use a heavy duty clamp to get the piston down heh, Thanks again.
