Disks: How do I get the disks off?

 

Calipers: Do I have to bleed the whole brake system in order to swop out the calipers? (Someone in an earlier threads suggested just clamping off the flexible brake lines. Can I just plug in new calipers and carry on as before without having to bleed the system?)

 

Thanks for any tips.

Disks - once caliper is out the way just give them a tap with a rubber mallet and they should come of.

and back off the handbrake on the back.

 

the hole in the disc you rotate that to the bottom and shine a light down theres a cog which you need to turn

As long as you keep the brake reservoir topped up when the fluid is dripping out, there shouldn't be any air in the system, however if you are changing calipers you should bleed the system anyway, its silly not too. New fluid can make a fair bit of difference to brake performance, especially if the existing stuff is old. Its not hard to bleed the system, just do it in the order the manual says (do a search, someone posted it for me recently when I changed my calipers).

Plus there are some holes you can screw bolts into on the back discs to push them off if its hard.

Thanks for the info, guys.
