Changing Rear Brake Pads?

[Jimbeamrye]

Looked at the manual... ... ... ... it says to pull out the rear tire spindle enough to get rear caliper support loose. It then says to clear the disk enough to access the brake pads, ensuring the anti-rattle clips are in correctly.

However, I didn't loosen the spindle or the caliper support, and instead carefully removed the little clips(2) and pulled out the brake pad pin. Then carefully removed old brake pads from caliper. Then carefully installed new pads and replaced pin and popped the two clips back in. Took 5 minutes.

Anyone have any problems doing it the way I did??? Saved at least an hour by not following the manual.
Please report!

You did it the right way. I've checked my rear pads several times, it only takes a few minutes.

I bought mine from www.NewR3.com
EBC Brand Double H (HH) rear part # is FA209/2HH
EBC Brand HH front part # is FA236HH

FYI when you order from newR3, and order the "front kit" it contains two sets (4 pads) for replacing both front calipers.

You will find the brake pads under the "performance" section....not sure as to why.
