Help W/ Brakes !!

[kaw700vforce]

I am trying to change my front brake pads on an 04 V-force.. I just did the bearings and figured while I had it broken down ..time to change the brakes.
Only one problem.. I can't get them to set up correct.. anyone local who can give me a hand I will appreciate it , sheet, I'll bring it to ya.?
otherwise I'll bring it to the dealer .. I hate to do that since I just dropped $ 250.00 into it ..


Thanks,

Did you expand the caliper using a c-clamp?

[kaw700vforce]

Yeah .. I did all of that , But the way the one pad sits,... it just is not right , It just hangs there.. I'm not too sure about it , like I said .. I need some help here ??

Those brakes are different from left to right sides of the ATV. Maybe you didn't order the brake pads for the correct side of the machine.

I have that diagram .. I can't seem to find where the smaller pad get's attached, I know where it goes ,but it sets loose and tends to move before the hub is replaced.. maybe i just attack it w/ a clear head again..

Thanks guys !

From the diagram, it looks the same as the brakes on the Scrambler. After compressing the caliper and inserting the brake pads, are you bleeding the brakes??

Call T&C tomorrow and make sure you have the correct parts. I got a full plate this week but if it still doesnt work out dump it in my driveway and I will do my best to get u up and running by the weekend.

Thanks shawn.. i'm in no rush in getting up & running I would rather see where I'm going wrong so I don't go through this again. pm me and let me know what works for you !
