Checking The Rear Brake Pads; Replacing The Rear Brake Pads - HUSABERG "05 Owner's Manual

MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE

CHECKING THE REAR BRAKE PADS

The brake pads can be inspected from the rear. The thickness of the linings
may not be less than 1 mm (0.04 in).
WARNING: At their most worn point brake pad linings should
not be thinner than 1 mm, otherwise they could lead to brake
failure. For your own safety don't put off having your brake
pads changed.
CAUTION: If the brake pads are replaced too late so that the
lining is partly or entirely worn, the steel components of the
brake pad will rub against the brake disc, thereby imparing
the braking effect and destroying the brake disc.

REPLACING THE REAR BRAKE PADS *

Push the brake caliper (1) toward the chain wheel in order to move the
brake piston into its basic position. Remove the clip (2), pull out the bolt
(3), and remove the brake pads. Thoroughly clean the brake caliper with
compressed air and check the sleeves of the guide bolts for damage.
Insert the left brake pad into the brake caliper and secure it with the bolt.
Insert the right brake pad and push the bolt (3) into the brake caliper up
to the stop. Reattach clip (2).
WARNING: It is very important to keep the brake disk free from
oil and fatty matters. Otherwise, the braking effect would be
strongly reduced.
After assembly, check if the clip has been fitted correctly.
After working on the braking system, always actuate the hand
brake lever or foot brake lever, respectively to ensure that the
brake pads will lie against the brake disk and the pressure
point is established.
