Nice job on the video! Simple, to the point, no nonsense and well filmed.

Is there a trick for getting the retainer clip back into place? Seems to keep my pads from sliding into their slot

[plexi]

my stock pads had a thin metal clip on the piston side....do i need to reinstall that on the new pads? not the upper clip, the plunger side pad....

[marcusfaries]

Do new brake pads come with an insulating pad? Or are they just magically swapped to the new pads in all the videos I look up?

[cracotator]

Thanks a lot ! First time for me to change my brake pads on my ktm. I was used to take the brake caliper of the bike to clean the piston carefully before pushing them back. I see on the users manual and also in your video that u don't to it : no risk of damaging the o-rings ?

[alexandre]

Once the break pads are removed, do you recommand cleaning the inside with break cleaner or it can damage some rubber parts?

[Mxbdt]

Man honestly I wish you explained how to remove an install the "critical component "

[misteryt]

Omg...why this sistem is not on every bike...is soooo easy!

I just changed the front pads on my ktm and my front brake locked up on me after a while of riding is there a reason for that

[rinie]

Great video! But i have a question: when I removed the braking pads, the 'little keeper' felt out too. At the moment I am replacing the new pads, I don't know how the keeper is adjusted or how. Any advice? Thanks!!

[oasisoasis]

Is the piston supposed to go back in after its out?

[Gibby_Films]

Thanks. I’ll try and make my dad proud😂

[jaredwestgate]

I had to use a c clamp to push the piston in so this way didn’t work for me at all

[KalebWilson]

Think I let my brake pads get too worn out, I was hardly able to push the caliper over enough to fit the inside pad now it locks up way too easy when I press the pedal

[MrBlompod]

Thanks... oh and if that little leaf spring falls out you'll wish you were never born 😅

I just took the wheel off then watched this…
