If you need tools (have the caliper wind back tools) or advice, give me a shout.
If the pads and discs are OK, but just not pulling up well, a clean and re-grease does wonders to bring the power and feel back. |

Our calipers don't need winding back.
Don't use copper grease for sliders - use proper brake grease. It's an easy job. |

Backs are a little trickier but still straight forward, its the adjusting the hand brake shoes just right

made a start today guys, got all four discs off without much trouble, one disc had actually broken into two pieces! This is on the 75 I'm restoring that had been stood for 5 years. Painted up the calipers and back plates with hammerite paint, leaving that over night to dry before fitting the pads tomorrow.
Thanks for all the help, really appreciate it |

I was looking at these recently, you can buy singly to save some money:

The video is much better, and helps with adjusting the handbrake to help remove the disc and reset after new disc is on. I removed the calliper before trying to remove the carrier, this gave better access to the difficult to get at carrier bolts. With the aid of a 'good' six sided spanner and a tap from a hammer they came out quite easily. Hope Atctic does a new how to soon, as the current one is (imho based on experience of doing the job) likely to lead to members having problems. I am only 65 and look forward to doing the job again in a few years time! But compared to brake light switch it was a doddle! |
