Don't expect to just throw on a set of new pad's. Any time you need to do a brake job on the disc style trike brakes.
Do your self a favor and just plan on redoind the slides at the same time. Just pull off the complete caliper assy, then remove the pad's. Then pull apart the braket with the two slide pins. They always rust out , causing the brake to either stick or not let both pad's work properly.
Even if the pin's are not rusted soild yet , they will. There is factory lube on them that let's them slide easy. So we need to clean and lube them for mantainance anyway.........:thumbsup:
