Title: Brake Pads Post by: ducati_tim on May 22, 2008, 02:52:00 PM My rear brake pads are shot. Is it easy to change them myself? I like to learn new things, but I have a low tolerance and no time for major fix-it-yourself headaches right now.

Title: Re: Brake Pads Post by: desmoquattro on May 22, 2008, 03:23:54 PM Not hard at all, provided you have a bleeder and a one-way valve. I can show you sometime if you want.

Desmoto usually has a supply of EBC pads, although I don't know how many rears they sell. Title: Re: Brake Pads Post by: desmoquattro on May 23, 2008, 08:33:03 AM Desmoto usually has a supply of EBC pads, although I don't know how many rears they sell. They've been good at getting rear pads for me. But make sure you get the right ones for your caliper. BTW - Tim floated the idea of making a video on how to do this. I'm not exactly the right person to make the video, but I know how to get the job done. Maybe we do a wrenching clinic with duckwrench sometime and let him be the YouTube star? Title: Re: Brake Pads Post by: TCK! on May 23, 2008, 09:32:00 AM ACE Motorsports was supposed to be ordering some more EBC rear brake pads, I bought some fronts form them and they said they were expecting some rears shortly.
Title: Re: Brake Pads Post by: ducati_tim on May 23, 2008, 01:15:54 PM Desmoto is out :'( It looks like I will order some online instead. No changing brake pads tomorrow for me.

You could always call that other shop. Title: Re: Brake Pads Post by: ducati_tim on May 24, 2008, 11:49:50 AM I always feel like that other shop thinks that they are doing me a favor by selling me stuff. I would rather give someone else my custom.
Title: Re: Brake Pads Post by: DanTheMan on May 24, 2008, 12:05:06 PM the ebc dealer is here at the track, i could check.
Title: Re: Brake Pads Post by: ducati_tim on May 24, 2008, 12:08:17 PM the ebc dealer is here at the track, i could check. Wow! That would be super nice of you DTM. [thumbsup]Title: Re: Brake Pads Post by: Michael Moore on May 24, 2008, 12:52:54 PM the ebc dealer is here at the track, i could check. Pretty sucky conditions for racing today, eh? Title: Re: Brake Pads Post by: desmoquattro on May 24, 2008, 03:20:14 PM Tim -
Just got into my toolbox and I have some EBCs. They may or may not fit, depending on the type of caliper you have. Title: Re: Brake Pads Post by: MendoDave on May 26, 2008, 10:57:25 AM If you dont have to take your bracket in to you machinist to have a Helicoil put on. Should be a 30 Min affair.
Have a C Clamp available to squeeze the piston back. |
