Typically, the procedure to replace brake pads are quite identical for all bikes but different caliper may have its own way of securing the pads.

 

If you can't find a friend who is proficient and familiar with your brake system, I would advise you go to a reputable shop, and witness how it is done before attempting it on your own.

Brakepad easy to diy, just remember when you remove the caliper out from the disc, DO NOT press the brake pedal.

changing brake pad is easy. but of cuzz, u need all specifit tools to operte dis process. i m riding a k5, and i have self changed my own brake pad. when 1st got bike, i went to bike shop to change e brake pad, which cost mi $25 jz for e rear brake pad. but if u DIY, save up to $10 for ur pocket.but of cuz, base on wat brand of brake pad u r using.

if u r talking abt changing a rear braake pad,

 

1) jz simply unscrew e allen screw out which support ur brake pad to e caliper.( some bike model require 2 allen sscrew, some oly 1 screw)

 

2) withdraw out e screw n pull out ur old pad. (dis may b a lil hard, pls b patient abit)

 

3) Once u have taken out e old pad,( u may wanna do a lil cleaning for ur caliper n wipe away e residue left behind by e brake pad, optional)

 

4)b4 u install e new pad, pls push backward e piston inside e caliper gently, dis is to get ready for e new pad as e thickness is thicker dan e old one.

 

5) Time to install back e new brake pad. (for mi, i will use a file to file away e 1st layer of e new pad, to make it more effect when braking)

 

6) 1st, when u put back e brake pad, make sure e pad is facing each other when installing into e caliper,and e pad muz b position nicely in between e brake dics, and dan follow by e allen screw.

 

7) make sure all screw r tighten b4 riding.

 

*things to note* pls do not apply any force to e brake level or padal cuz e piston inside e caliper will cramped up.
