...mechanical background.
I am changing the brakes on my 1990 ZX750f for the first time. I have always "had it done" before. I have pulled my old pads, but am not sure how to release the calipers to install the new, obviously thicker, pads.
I know this is ridiculous. I should be embarrassed, but I have spent my years riding. The only mechanical ventures in which I have engaged are oil changes and things of that nature. Please, help me out.
I considered loosening the little bolt nn the back of the brakes, where the brake cable connects, but thought it would be foolish to do so without being sure it is the right move.
By the way, as a compulsive forumer, I look forward to familiarizing myself with these. Look forward to making everyones' acquaintance.
