Remove Both Calipers
8. Remove the cotter Pin (J) and disconnect the
link arm (K).
9. Slide the caliper off the mounting bracket.
10. Repeat for the second caliper.
Check/Adjust the Cable Length
Before the calipers can be adjusted, the balance
bar (O) must be parallel to the frame and at
a known distance. This part of the procedure
is best completed before the new calipers are
installed.
You will need a pair of 3 to 4 mm shims and a
long cable tie, string, or tape. This setup should
remain in place for the remainder of the procedure.
11. Make sure the brake pedal is released and in its relaxed, upright position.
12. Place a pair of 3 to 4 mm shims (or feeler gauges) (N) between the balance bar (O) and the main chassis,
as shown. If necessary, tape the shims down so they remain in place.
13. As necessary, adjust the two cable adjustment nuts (L) so the balance bar just touches both shims
evenly. Retighten the nuts.
14. To keep the balance bar in this position for the remainder of the procedure, temporarily secure it against
the shims/frame with a cable tie (P).
