INSTALLING REAR BRAKE PADS ON THE TROOPER

[Gumball]

Hi All,

I managed to scrounge up enough pads to replace the rear brakes on my Trooper. They went on with no problems, after I figured out how to do it, DUH!

If you haven't done it here is the sequence I used.

1. Jack up rear end and put on jack stands.

2. Remove wheel

3. Remove calipers from backing plate. 2 bolts each caliper

4. Remove the Allen screw that's visible on one side of the caliper. Don't do anything with the side with the rubber cap.

5. Place the caliper on something solid, like the swing arm, and tap the rod that's under the Allen screw IN toward the Allen end. You don't have to drive in all the way in, just far enough to remove the pads from the caliper. You' ll be able to remove the pads before the rod is flush with the caliper edge.

6. Install the new pads - may have to pry the pads apart to clear the disk.

7. Reverse the process

8. Pat yourself on the back

9 Now do the other side

Have fun!

I know you had been asking about where to get the pads, where did you find them? might help the rest of us in the future.

Thanks,

I have 40 pads in stock for the troopers and have found another US supplier for them

Hi Rick,

I got some pads from Joyner before they closed. I didn't get a full set so I'm looking for another set.

I got a call from Glade and he's ordered some from the factory. You can find his number on my earlier post. He will call me when he gets them.

In the mean time you can get pads from Jarrad at No Limits Powersports. He has them in stock and has found a US distributor. Hi number is 817-695-1151.

Hope this helps,

Gumball
