CAUTION:
¼ Always replace the pads for both the left and
right wheels at the same time. Also replace pad
clips if they are twisted or worn.
¼ A wear indicator is provided on the inner
disc brake pad. If the pad wears down to such
an extent that the end of the wear indicator
contacts the disc rotor, a squeaking sound is
produced as the wheel rotates. If this sound is
heard, replace the pad.
