May I suggest cheap brake clean in an aerosol can. It gets in where a cue tip can't and leaves nothing behind (a cue tip can leave cotton in a piston seal)
and as the name implies.. its made for this task.

Be wary pushing the pistons into the caliper, you can damage the lever reservoir with too much fluid that has nowhere to go (especially if you topped up or changed the brake fluid while the pads were worn. OR, you can push the other one completely out as the opposing piston shares the pressure... put pressure on one and it puts it on the other equally.
As a caliper has the this same pressure on both pistons it will not necessarily align itself (You can see this for yourself by putting on the brake and you can shift an unbolted caliper left & right and it will not return to the middle.)

Put a little (note LITTLE) antiseize on the bolts that hold the caliper onto the mount, and the bolts that hold the mount onto the staunchness. Steel into alloy often gets locked with corrosion and you can damage the bolts/forks if they get stuck next time you want to remove them.

I'm no expert.. but after 45 years of being allowed to use dads workshop from about 7yo "This is MY garage.... Try not to break things"... and 13yrs as a maintenance engineer on things like steam pressure washers etc... I try and make sure I don't have to do something again... and if I do, it will be easier next time.

Great video! Over a year old and I just used it to change the brake pads on my electric bike. My neighbor paid $120 to get his brake pads changed at the local bicycle shop. Can you believe that for 10 minutes worth of work? Thanks for the info and the help have a great day.

When you spread the pads, do it to the old pads before you remove them. No need to deface your new pads. Go ahead, use a large flat screwdriver, twist and pry, no harm done. Only open them far enough for the new pads to fit over the disc, no need to stress the caliper seals. Same for autos, I been playing this game many years, basics remain the same.

Great video, I've been looking for one like this for hours. Simple and straight to the point, thanks.

can you also use the BO5S pads for the MT200 brake calipers?

[budgetking]

easy for you i have tektro breaks and its impossible to get the pad in

[lawo]

No need to bleed the breaks? When do we bleed hydraulic break fluids?

[sombra]

no no no no no never touch pad with your fingers. you will put some oil from your fingers always use gloves when working on pads or disk rotors. very important. other then that great work man.

Great video buddy, I need to change mine ASAP
Where did you get your stand from? If you don’t mind as I made one from wood but it would be better to get the steal one

[michaeltamala]

hi are the front and rear brake pads the same?

[arthurleal]

tks for the video. So now I am wondering if my Shimano hydralic caiiper has a stuck piston. Does it have two that move or one on this model ( you may know). BR-M365. I know on some calipers that one side moves only.

[uncrunch]

What happens if they're not cleaned every time you change the pads?

[cybercat]

Dont do what was done here of holding in one piston while pushinf out the other. The pistons are held in purely by tight tollerance mechanical fit alone. You can easily pop one out and loose hydraulic brake pressure.

Adjust caliper on the front!u don't hear de pads noice?😬
