NOTE:
  • Always replace the pads for both right and left wheels at the same time.
  • Also replace the pad clips if they are twisted or worn.
  • A wear indicator is provided on the inner disc brake pad. If the pad wears down to such an extent that the end of wear indicator contacts disc rotor, a squeaking sound is produced as the wheel rotates. If this sound is heard, replace the pad.
