TOOL YOU NEED TO REPLACE ATV BRAKE PADS
- Car jack and jack stands
- Socket kit or hex keys(check your brake assembly or owner’s manual to determine which you need)
- Clamp
- Vice grips
- Lug wrench
- Gloves
- Safety goggles
- New brake pads
Start by loosening the wheel lug nuts while the ATV is still on the ground.
Raise the ATV on a car jack, support it with jack stands, and ensure it is stable. When you get settled into working on your ATV, the movement could rock it off an unstable support.
Remove the lugs and wheel(s).
There are two bolts on the back of the caliper. They can be removed with either the socket wrench or hex key. The caliper can be stuck a bit and require some gentle prying to loosen. When you get it loose, it will detach from the rotor and will still have the brake pads attached to it.
Suppress the pin on the caliper with the vice grips or clamp. Some models have a plug over the bolt, but most don’t.
The pads will fall off.
Clean any dust and residue made by the brake pads. Metallic and semi-metallic brake pads will be particularly likely to create dust.
Compress the caliper piston with a clamp. Once it has been compressed, you can take the clamp off and put the brake pads on.
Use the vice grips to compress the pins again.
Put the caliper back in place and tighten the bolts.
Put the wheel back on and lower the jack. You can tighten the lugs once the ATV is back on the ground.
