Outlander Brake Pad Replacement Removing The Pads *Jack up and securely support your ATV. *Take off the wheels and remove pad pins. *Remove caliper from it's support NOTE: Tie the caliper up with some wire, don't let it hang by the hose! *Unscrew the pins, then take out the pads *Measure pad lining thickness. The lining minimum is 1/32" thick. Replace if less. *There are 4 wear indicators (hollow spots) on a set of pads. If even one has reached this hollow spot you must replace the pads. Be sure to always replace in pairs. Installing New Pads *Push caliper piston in before attempting to install pads. *Use a C-clamp and an old pad to push it in. The old pad will prevent any damage to the piston. *Make sure the spring is in place and install the pads *Install pad pins by pushing pads against the pad springs to align slots *Install caliper so that the rotor is between the pads. *When done press the brake lever a few times to bring the pads up into contact with the rotor *Check to make sure that they are working right and check for leaks before you ride. Rotor Inspection *The brake disc can be checked on the bike. *Support the ATV and remove the wheels. *Take a good look for deep scratches or grooves worn in it *Measure the thickness *Minimum for front is: .138" or 3.5mm / Rear is: .170" or 4.3mm *Runout maximum is: .01" or .3mm
