How do you change the front brake pads on a suzuki scooter?

Its a 1996 AP50, The bit I'm confused about is the brake-fluid, do you have to release it first, if so how?How do you change the front brake pads on a suzuki scooter?Remove caliper/with a toothbrush and some brake cleaner solution clean the pistons before returning them into the caliper bores.

Leaving the old pads installed...

Use a flat blade screwdriver between old pads and gently push/pry the pistons back to give clearance for the new pads to fit over the caliper. Leaving the old pads in and pushing against them assures you dont damage anything and gives a solid surface to return the pistons back to the resting position.

The brake fluid will be forced back into the master cylinder/ be sure it does not become overfull.(remove it's cover)

Now remove the lock clip and pin or pins that support the old pads and remove them.

Look to see the pistons are both returned completely into their cylinders in the caliper body.

If need be slip the old pads back into the caliper and pry some more gently returning pistonsfor proper clearance. Clean well all surfaces and buff or wire wheel the pins of all dirt and rust/shine them up!

If anything seems wrong ie siezed rusty pistons/ replace! If pistons are siezed take the calipers to a shop for rebuilding or ask more questions here!



Install pads with fibre facing rotor/metal side facing piston.

Install caliper and pump brake to bring pad into contact with rotor and spin wheel to see if all is free and not binding.

Check brake fluid and adjust as necessary replsce cap and ride on/ if you have not allowed air into the system you should not have to bleed it!

It's not rocket science and you should be able to do this yourself if you have some metric tools.

Flush and replace brake fluid every two years!

Suck it out the master cyl reservoir and bleed it out the caliper.How do you change the front brake pads on a suzuki scooter?The braking system on a bike or car should NEVER be touched by person who doesnt know exactly what they are doing !! Please take your scoot to a motorcycle shop to have the pads fitted. Its allot cheaper to pay a mechanic to fit your pads than to do it yourself potentialy kill yourself due to brake failure.
