How to change the brake pads on a zx6r kawasaki 1999 (front and rear)?

is it a easy job to do?How to change the brake pads on a zx6r kawasaki 1999 (front and rear)?It takes about 15 minutes.



In the front (on each brake) there are 2 pad spring bolts. You remove them and the pad spring, then pull out the clip and remove the pad pin.



When you put the new pads in, you need to push the caliper pistons in by hand as far as you can, install the new pads and replace the pad pin, clip, pad spring and bolts. Make sure the clip is to the outside of the pad.



The back brakes you must remove the caliper by unscrewing the mounting bolts. Take the caliper off the disc, remove the clip and pad pin, then take out the old pads.



To install new pads, push the piston in and reverse the above procedure.



You should get a service manual as the illustrations are just as helpful as the text. You can probably find a used one on ebay or at http://www.alibris.com or http://www.biblio.com for cheap.How to change the brake pads on a zx6r kawasaki 1999 (front and rear)?it's easy....all u need is the service manual and the right tools. it'll walk u thru it step by step. is cheaper to get the manual than to pay for the shop time.How to change the brake pads on a zx6r kawasaki 1999 (front and rear)?Remove the 2 bolts holding each caliper on. Push in on the old pads to move the pistons all the way in. DO NOT PULL THE BRAKE LEVERS WHILE CALIPERS ARE OFF! Remove the 2 screws that hold the anti-vibe springs on top of the calipers. Pull the cotter pin on the pin that runs through the top of the pads. Pads should fall out. Install new pads and all components in reverse steps. Install calipers...do not touch rotors or pads with your fingers...oil from fingers causes squealing brakes. Pump levers to seat pads to rotors and check fluid levels. Good Luck!How to change the brake pads on a zx6r kawasaki 1999 (front and rear)?Yes it is an easy job if you have the skills and tool to do it





BUT





As you have to ask how on here and this is your brakes we are talking about I doubt if you do possess the necessary skills and tools to do this and I mean no offence but safety is paramount.



Local bike shop would not charge a fortune to do this and you would be happy in the knowledge that it was done properly.



You need to put safety up there at the top and keep safe



Good luck
