Rear brake bad replacement tip

Hello,
I Was doing a few bits to my bike today, and being a bit of a noob when it comes to motorcycle mechanics I consulted the service guide before touching anything.

One thing I noticed was the guide says to remove the rear wheel when replacing the pads. I had a look around the bike and couldn't figure out why.

So I removed the clip and tapped the pin through with the caliper still in place. Took 5minutes to replace the pads.

Hope this helps someone.

Yep. No need to remove the wheel to do the pads.

personally I find pad replacement a good time to strip the caliper down and give it all a good service.
