Break pads

Whats the best way to get them out of the calipers on an 08 700.

I thought someone said there were two little allen head bolts holding them in. Or maybe that was the 660?

How many miles you got on yours now Ronnie?

I may be tottally wrong but the calipers are the same I think. Remove the caliper from the hub, remove the two-allen-heads, the pads will fall out. Then there's the trick, take a large flat-blade or a 1-inch wood-chisel, and insert into the "X" on the piston, remove the cap off the master cylinder,turn in the piston to give yourself room for the new pads to fit over the disc. Don't forget to take the thin-metal shims off the old pads and put them on the new ones. This is for a 660,I'm sure the 700's close to the same.

i just used a C-clamp(on the front) and pushed the piston back in that way no problems here, but def get the shims

yea the rear piston screws in, the front ones push in....go figure

I just took the rear off and you can just push the piston in. I have not tried the front yet. The pads still have some grove in them. I think I can get a few more rides out of them.

If you have a rhino 700 you better check your breaks at 1000 miles. The front were down to the metal

Damn straight. We ride a lot of red trails at Evarts. My breaks started squeaking the last time there. So I guess I burned the front up. The back still have a 100 or so miles left. The crazy thing is, they really didn't squeak unless I was going down a really steep hill.
