Go get a box of socket and ratchet wrench, less then $10 bucks, will suffice for most DIY job.

If you want to DIY, can get a can of Softt99 brake cleaner, $15.90 from NTUC.

YOU ARE NEEDED FOR THE DIY SESSION!!!

I can drop by and see see look look for the next DIY.

 

If your bike have no main stand suggest you guys bring a jack for brake pad changing too, then you can jack up the front or back to check if there is any binding of the wheel.

 

Other tools which make brake pad changing alot easier

 

1. G-clamp for pushing in your brake pistion, because the piston will have extended out too much to fit in your new and thicker brake pads. Try to get a good quality one else the horse shoe pad may deface your beautiful caliper. $8

 

2. Rubber mallet for knocking out the caliper, which may get stuck from the worn brake pads. And for loosen the virgin brake caliper holding bolts. $2 from Daiso at IMM.

 

3. Long nose pliers to grap the retaining pins

 

 

You may want to bleed the brake fluid if its too old

 

1. Clear hose to bleed the brakes, the size is ard 6mm i/d

 

2. Empty and clean bottle to contain your old brake fluid

 

3. 8mm ring spanner to loosen the brake caliper nipple

 

4. New brake fluid Dot 3 or 4 depends on your bike's spec.
