So after nearly killing myself the past weekend at Coal Creek thanks to no brakes i believe it is time for new ones. In the past we have always let dealers install em, but the more savvy me and my brother get, is there anyway possible to do it our selfs? Or would it be cheaper to get the pads online then just have a shop install them? Or just let the shop take care of it? Thanks

id say it would be cheaper to do it ur self cause then u dont have to pay labor fees

True, But how hard is the install and are any custom tools needed?

No custom tools needed. Screw driver to adjust them. I wouldn't bother with the rear brake, mine lasted a day lol

ok how hard is it to put new pads on

mudrider70459 · 07-31-2008, 02:21 AM

is there any instruction on how to or is it just kinda start taking the drums apart from the outside. Also would the lines need to be bled or anything afterwards?

Just take the drums off, replace the shoes. You may have to turn the adjusters down.
