HI there,

I am about to replace the rear brake pads on my Ten since they are knackered.
I had a look to my Haynes manual but I would like to clarify a couple of things before proceeding.


1) Only one of the brake pads is wasted (the one sitting on the cylinder). Is this normal?

2) Do I need to buy a tool like this to take the pads retaining pin?

Do I use gently the hammer to the the pin in and out?

3) I read that I should put some copperslip on the retaining pin before putting it back? THe brake pad is Ferodo brand and it has already this blue compound on the back and edges of the brake pad.

4) How do I disassemble the caliper from the swingarm mounting bracket? In the Haynes manual it says "slide it out"... no need to unscrew anything, just push away?
I probably dont need to dissamsemble the bracket from caliper, but I wanted to properly clean the caliper and put some copperslip on the pins.



Thanks and sorry for asking so many questions
