So I found out the brakes on the front tire of my Ninja were worn down pretty far. So I decided to change the pads.... myself...

Now I from the brake from the wheel and take out the smaller of the two pads and find I can't get the other pad off. Then I find out I can't or don't know how to really replace the pads. Now I'm stuck with a bike that doesn't have a left side pad and an extremly worn right pad.

What I need help with is information pertaining to changing the front brake pads on the Ninja 500R. Either here on the boards or which service manual to buy and where I can get it. What tools I'll need and so and so forth.

I appreciate any and all posts regarding this subject.

Thanks
