Thanks for making this video as it helped me get mine done a lot quicker. Mines the abs model, and if people with abs do this on the front brake, loosen the bracket that holds the cable down near the pads to allow movement of the abs cable when the caliper is removed. I also used a cheap ratchet clamp to push the pistons fully back in, makes it a 10 minute job in total by doing that, and much easier to put it back over the disc. You can use a wire or a hook to hold the caliper if you don't want to stress the tubes if letting the brake assembly all hang when fiddling about with new pads. Did the rear too, only need to remove one bolt from the caliper (same size as the fronts bolts, not the larger one) then could rotate the brake up and then remove the bolt that holds the pads in place, and replace with new pads. I didn't use any lithium grease on anything, but dabbed the O ring on the bolt that holds the pads in with multi-purpose grease. Hope all that helps someone.
Thanks a lot brother the brakes went on super smooth 20 minutes I was done I don’t think you have to worry about those bolts with the brown on it they have to come out in order to change the pads and the tire if you ever need one My bike stops great thanks again
You're the man for this bro!! Much love I subbed and notified. Honestly cause your good deeds on the bike made me remember my life on a moped lmao. Keep it up bro keep being a good thing in the world
Never put any grease on the brakes that isn't silicone brake grease. Only apply the silicone brake grease to the caliper pins. If you put grease anywhere else it will gum up with brake dust. FYI
When you mentioned that you put too much grease on the brake pads... I guess about how much should I put? Just a dab on the flat surface of the pad and on the connectors? I"m planning to change the pads on my 2014 honda ctx700nd, soon.
As long as it is on the points of contacts where it will rub on the calipers then it should be good. Do a little less than I did and you will be good to go.
No fluid was removed for the front or back. The front didn’t need it but my back could have used a bleed. As long as the pressure isn’t too strong you can push the pads into place by hand.
@@JustinsGarage I did my first fluid change today on the CTXDCT abs model it went well from what I’m reading I definitely need brake pads so I’m going to order them now i’m a little afraid to do it myself but I just watched your video and it didn’t look too bad I left the little room on my reo reservoir so hopefully I won’t need to remove any fluid I’m guessing I will know if the piston doesn’t go in ? And thank you for answering me that’s pretty awesome nobody ever answers back
The piston will go in. I’ve gotten 30 year old bike’s pistons to go back in. Worst case scenario use your old pads and two screwdriver to push from the middle out to compress the pistons.

Helped alot bro thanks! The compression of the pistons was quite tricky and putting the securing bolt for me hava but done!
