I suppose you know that you don't have to remove the wheel, ABS sensor and caliper to change the pads. Any particular reason you chose to do that this time? Just curious and want to learn new stuff. Thanks for your videos. Makes me hungry for a trip. :)
Great question. Next time, we’ll have to try and remove the pads without pulling the wheel. For some reason, I associated removing the wheel to get access to the brake pad retaining pin, but after your comment, it looks like you can do this without removing the wheel. Thanks for the comment that helped us learn as well.
No you do not have to remove the wheel - as long as you have a long enough punch to drive the brake holding pin back in while hammering on the other side through the wheel.
Great instructional, thank you both!
No problem. Thanks for commenting.
This is so helpful thanks!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching.
To change pads the wheel does not need to be removed. it is enough to knock out the pin of the guide and the pads fall out by themselves.
Yep, totally agree. However getting the pin back in can be a challenge without a punch long enough to drive the pin back in through the wheel width.
@@viajarMOTO There are special punches just for such purposes. Take up little space

@@viajarMOTO I guess there are pros too, removing the wheel. You get to clean and check everything.
This is true. Thanks for following along in our journey.
Do you have to take the wheel off to change the pads ?
No you do not have to remove the wheel - as long as you have a long enough punch to drive the brake holding pin back in while hammering on the other side through the wheel.
If you don’t take the wheel off it goes much faster as well - We’ve been able to make a pad change in 15 minutes.
Ohh great ! You forgot to put the chain back on the sprocket !
Yeah, we discovered this after filming and just rolled with it.
