Re: Installing Rear Brake Pads

There is a hardware kit for the rears also. It contains new pins and
springs. No shims.

Where the weather is bad in the winter and the brakes are exposed to
salt and dirt etc. It is a good idea to remove the pads and clean the
surface where the pad slides at least once a year in the spring.
In fact I did mine twice, in the fall and winter. Dirt, grime and rust
will cause the pads to seize and then, very little brake will come from
the rears.
One caution, when cleaning with a file don't puncture the piston boot.
