![]() ![]() Without removing the gloves, re-install the brake pads and disk. Re-clean them both with the brake parts cleaner after doing this. Now, use some low grit wet/dry metal sandpaper to rough up surface of both the brake pads and the part of the disk which the pads contact. Wipe away any residue until the brake cleaner completely evaporates. The next step is to use a good motorbike disk brake cleaner (not regular disk brake cleaner as these sometimes include oils) and spray the brake pad and disk liberally. This is to prevent any oil transfer onto the brakes. The first step is to place the brake pads and disk on a bed of lint free shop towels and put on some nitrile or latex gloves (the kind that doctors wear). Fine wet/dry sandpaper above 1000 is best.Automotive brake cleaning fluid is best (Or, less ideally, isopropyl alcohol).To do this remove all of the torque screws which are holding it to the frame. The next step is to remove the disk itself. Clip style: Again, simply pull them out with the needle nose pliers (This may require a bit of force to remove the clips).Magnet style: For these simply pull them out with the pliers from the front of the caliper (Note: often these are used in conjunction with a retaining pin).Spring style: for these simply use the pliers (or even your fingers) to compress the pads and then pull them through the back of the caliper to remove them. ![]() Be sure not to lose the pin while you’re cleaning!
