How to: Replace disc brake and pads on rear axle

[Mux213]

Step 5: take the brake pads out of the brackets, then loosen the two bolts holding the bracket to the axle. The bracket will come off nicely.

Step 6: Take the brake disk off. If it is stuck there are two small holes in the brake disk in to which you can screw a bolt, this bolt will push the disk off. Make sure you put a bolt in both holes and tighten them evenly or the disk will get stuck even more. IF it still doesn't come loose, a hamer does wonders

Step 7: Put the new disk on. For those with a keen eye you will notice we forgot to push the disk in place enough, we eventually had to loosen everything again, put the disk on right, and put everything back on again So lesson to be learned, put the new disk brake firmly in place.

Also brake cleaner is very important at this point. The disk brake will be covered in yucky stuff to keep it from rusting, spray on brake cleaner on the brake surface and wipe it off with a clean rag to remove this yucky stuff.
