Front Brake Pads; Removal - Triumph Rocket III Classic Service Manual

Brakes
Use only D.O.T. 4 specification brake fluid as listed in
the general information section of this manual. The use
of brake fluids other than those D.O.T. 4 fluids listed in
the general information section may reduce the
efficiency of the braking system leading to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Observe the brake fluid handling warnings given earlier
in this section of the manual.
To prevent paint damage, do not spill brake fluid onto
any area of the bodywork. Spilled brake fluid will
damage paintwork.
24. Repeat the procedure for the left hand caliper.
25. When both calipers have been bled, ensure the
brake lever operation has a firm resistive feel to it,
does not feel spongy and that the lever cannot be
pulled directly back to the handlebar. Take remedial
action as necessary.
26. Refit the diaphragm and reservoir cover. Tighten the
screws to 2 Nm.
Always return the lever adjuster to the original setting as
noted in paragraph
1.
Operating the motorcycle with
lever settings that are unfamiliar may lead to loss of
control or an accident.
2Z Rocket III and Classic only: Reset the brake lever
adjuster to the original setting.
28. Check the operation of the front brake. Rectify as
necessary.
It is dangerous to operate the motorcycle with defective
brakes and you must have your authorised Triumph
dealer take remedial action before you attempt to ride
the motorcycle again. Failure to take remedial action
may reduce braking efficiency leading to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.

Before starting work, ensure the motorcycle is stabilised
and adequately supported. This will help prevent it from
falling and causing injury to the operator or damage to
the motorcycle.

1. Remove the brake pad retaining pin after removing
and discarding its split pin. Inspect the retaining pin
for damage.
2. Remove the anti-rattle spring and inspect the spring
for damage.
In the following operation, never lever directly against
the disc, caliper or the pad lining material as this will
damage these components. Always use a levering tool
made from a soft material that will not cause damage to
the load bearing surfaces.
Brake fluid will be displaced as the caliper pistons are
compressed. To prevent paint damage, ensure that the
displaced fluid does not come into contact with any part
of the bodywork.
3. Carefully push the brake pads apart to force the
caliper pistons back and allow withdrawal of the
pads.
