Re: Front Brake Pads Replacement DIY Guide
Hi John,
You only need to remove the top stud that hold the caliper housing in place and tilt it down to gain access to the the pads.
The bottom stud doesn't need to be removed at all as it will guide the housing back into its place when you're done.

Re: Front Brake Pads Replacement DIY Guide
Sorry John, I made a mistake when I said the top stud needs to be taken-off, it is actually the bottom one that needs to be removed and the top one will allow the caliper housing to swing up. You don't need to loosen or remove the top stud at all.
See this page from the manual.

Re: Front Brake Pads Replacement DIY Guide
Kev, you can also use the wooden handle of a hammer to push them back in place. You need to make sure the brake fluid reservior lid is open when you do that and cover it with a rag.

Re: Front Brake Pads Replacement DIY Guide
I use an 'F' clamp when I do mine, its so easy, all you have to do is turn the handle to where you want it to stop.
This way you can keep an eye on the resevoir in case it overflows.
