Technical changing UT front brake pads

[arc]

i give up. fed up faffing wit brakes..

am i missing any bits here? what holds the pads in?

i work things out by pulling them to bits, and seeing as though this car didnt have UT brakes fitted... i had nothing to pull to bits!

Hi, you're missing only one of the rubber boots.

The pads are held on by the caliper. You have to undo the bolts on the sliding pins (remove those pins from the caliper that I can see on the right of the photo), put the pins into the caliper carrier (with the rubber boots), then put the pads in to the caliper carrier, and then fit the caliper over them so that the small rivetted-on springs are pressing the pads against the back of the caliper carrier.

A picture from me would be worth a thousand words, but I've gotta go right now. Hope you get it sorted and remember to Loctite(tm) the bolts into the sliding pins. Also grease the pins with coppergrease.

Pad change can be done by unbolting only the lower sliding pin and swinging the caliper up. Just for reference...

Cheers,
-Alex

hmm. still not 100% on what you mean, thanks for the reply though

small riveted on springs? that the thingy bit at the top of the pad? i was wondering what that was for!

Yes that spring.

The sliding pins stay in the carrier, you need a 15mm and 13mm spanner to loosen them. If the pins were in the carrier it would look much more obvious
