    I forgot to show that there is a 2nd brake pad behind the rotor. They wear significantly less than the outer pad, so I didn't even think to show it! You can pull the rotor forward, and it will pull off of the shaft. Then you can remove the rear pad.

      Watched your "How to Fix Riding Lawnmower Brakes" from Aug 26, 2017. Found the video very useful, but have a question. Upon dissembling my brake for JD LA105, the rotor does not want to come off. Is it held with friction and just need to be pried off? Also, the pad does not fully match with the rotor and wonder if the notch that builds after rotor wears the pad away "bottoms out" against the back pad..

    Thank u vary much cause I just bought a riding mower today and I went 45miles away I didn't know it didn't have breaks tell I was putting it on the trailer at home me and my wife was shocked the salesman didn't tell us I'm just happy it didn't go flying off the back of the trailer and everyone trusted my strapping abilities cause I use to work for a business with that type of work so I knew what I was doing think god I got home safely and mowing a lawn and came home to find this video about what the hell was going on with the breaks it set outside for two years bought it for 250 only thing I did today was change oil and replace blades and battery now on to break kitvor clean them I want to thank u again and I hit the like button and I'm new to your channel

I just got the job done and it’s perfect! Thanks again.

    • @EliminatorPerformance
      @EliminatorPerformance  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Pad in behind usually wears much slower than the pad in the front, I didn't even replace it because it still had quite a bit left.
      However, I agree that I should've included that as well!

    One point..would you want the pad to engage the disc when in the max travel position? If set to engage mid-range there would be additional travel available, in order to be able to apply additional pressure on the disc, if required. Helpful video though.

      HotRodBriggs 60102 that's a good point, I've done some searching and haven't been able to find anything.
      Best advice I could give, is look for a model number on your transmission, then go into a small engine shop and ask them to get a disc.
      You'd need a part number, but would have to get the trans type figured out 1st.

      I think I may have forgotten to show that, usually they don't wear out as quickly as the caliper side pads do.
      And if you don't remove the rotor (brake disc) then it won't fall out.
      I believe I inspected it and it was fine, so I think I just left it.

    On my riding MTB the pad was good the pins after hammering out were good (filed down till free). I would suggest spraying pins with a silicon or min WD40 every wash and test for pin rust lockup.
    Anitseszz may work but heavy waterproof grease on the pins is better.
