#Brake pads : How to change brake pads on bike !
How To Change Brake Pads On Your Bike..!
Brake pads are a component of disk brakes used in automotive and other applications.
Brake pads are steel backing plates with friction material bound to the surface that faces the disk brake rotor.
If they're looking thinner than Wacko Jacko after a detox... it's time to change 'em. This is generally when you're down to 30% of the pads life.
This should be a straight forward task that can definitely be done at home swinging a couple of basic tools.
Remove the brake pin plug. This is a small screw-plug that protects the brake pin from filling up with mud and gunk. Then, using a tight-fitting allen key, unscrew the brake pin and encourage the pads to drop out.
While you have the brake system exposed, it pays to clean all the compacted dirt and crap out of there. Not doing this can effect your braking performance. Once clean, apply heat-resistant lube or grease to the two brake caliper pins.
Gently push back the two pistons using a screwdriver and fit the new pads. Allow enough room for the unit to fit back over the disc.
Clean and lube the brake pin and reinsert.
Screw in the brake pin plug, then reattach the entire unit to the fork.

Good brakes are essential for competitive ATV use. So, if your ATV's brake pads are old and worn, don't think twice about replacing them. New brake pads come cheaply and can be installed by those without much mechanical knowledge.
Instructions
Step 1
Remove the front tires on the ATV.
Do this by undoing the mounting nuts on the rim of the tires, then sliding the tires out.
Step 2
Loosen and open the brake manifolds. An easy way to do this is by using a large flathead screwdriver and prying the metal apart.
Step 3
Unscrew the brake pad mounting bolts and remove the old brake pads. Do this carefully, trying not to harm or bend the manifolds.
Step 4
Mount new brake pads securely on the manifolds and bolt them in. Make sure that they are mounted squarely with the corners of the pad holders, otherwise they may catch undesirably.
Step 5
Remove the rear plastics on the ATV so that the rear brake disc may be easily accessed. This is usually done by removing the seat and a few plastic mounting screws.
Step 6
Remove and replace the rear brake pads, just the same way that you did the front pads. However, in this case, when replacing the pads, make sure that they line up correctly with the brake disc for the best friction.
Step 7
Replace the front tires on the ATV.
