jollyranchers Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) Had the front brake pads out earlier , ive bought Brembo replacements however they are slightly different and have a grove down the middle. Has anyone else found this ? Do I need new anti squeal rubber shims ? the new brembo pads don't have them stuck on the back. Edited June 30, 2013 by jollyranchers Quote
DoogyRev Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 Should be fine with the line down the middle. I expect its for cooling. Unless you want people to hear you break, get some anti-squeal shims fitted Quote
jollyranchers Posted June 30, 2013 Author Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) its weird the ones that came out have the diagonal line in the pad , the brand newy's don't. I can also only see one part number for the Brembo's for the front. Maybe Brembo changed the pad pattern ? Will get some shims sorted Edited June 30, 2013 by jollyranchers Quote
350 Russ Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 where did you get the replacements from? be careful there not fakes Quote
jollyranchers Posted June 30, 2013 Author Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) Got them off ebay seller , is there any way of checking ? , might email brembo Edited June 30, 2013 by jollyranchers Quote
jollyranchers Posted June 30, 2013 Author Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) How easy are the pistons to push back ? , without sounding retarded im assuming i need to push back each individual piston with a G clamp Edited June 30, 2013 by jollyranchers Quote
ZMANALEX Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 Noise reduction anti squeal shims in stock for the Brembo pads and good to go same/next day. Alex. Quote
KyleR Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 How easy are the pistons to push back ? , without sounding retarded im assuming i need to push back each individual piston with a G clamp That's how I did it. Take cap off reservoir and use g clamps to push all pistons back then when you take them off they should move much. 1 Quote
jollyranchers Posted June 30, 2013 Author Posted June 30, 2013 cheers buddy , will have a go when my shims arrive Quote
Bagz Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Just curious, why wouldn't you re-use the original shims? I've always done this on my bikes without issue. Quote
Lincolnbaggie Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Just curious, why wouldn't you re-use the original shims? I've always done this on my bikes without issue. Same here - just re-use the old ones after cleaning them up and a dab of copper grease (and they're metal, not rubber). Quote
jollyranchers Posted July 11, 2013 Author Posted July 11, 2013 The shims looked pretty tatty , for the price of new ones you may just as well change them Quote
350 Russ Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 did you use the brake pads or return them, personally i wouldnt use them imo ive got a feeling there fakes, legit brembo pads have the groove and my Yellowstuff ones did too front and rear Quote
