Yamaha Kodiak brakes (part 2) Front

Changing the front brake pads on the Kodiak.

Thanks for the video. Used it to change my pads today. Worked just like you said. And, thanks for working with the young gal as you did. There IS hope for the future.

Any time!

Nice vid. I just did mine on a 05. Same brakes. Did you notice the clips on the back of the brake pads when you removed them? I missed mine at first but caught them before the install. Looks like you might have tossed them.

[@SchnebsGarage]

yea there's a thin tin plate on the old ones. These were original and werent in very good shape so I tossed them.

a trick : you can watch series on Flixzone. I've been using them for watching lots of of movies lately.

[@briggsezra7783]

@Harley Jordan yup, have been watching on Flixzone for years myself =)

Those cheap pins are a terrible design. They corrode and seize up and the allen heads are easily stripped leaving you replacing the calipers.

[@SchnebsGarage]

Ya, I'm not a fan of that design.

Cannot unscrew the bolts with allen wrench, way too tight

Propane torch and heat the aluminum caliper ONLY near where the threads are. 30 seconds should be more than enough.
