I'm posting this under a new topic because it's not quite the same thing as my earlier question about the rear brake wearing out. I had a chance to inspect the rotor today, and I've decided it can be reused without turning. One side has been roughed up a little, but it's within the limit of what I consider acceptable for pad replacement. The rotor isn't actually grooved, and that's what I was worried about most.
Regarding the pads, I don't have a service manual, and this looks somewhat different than I'm used to. Also, after hearing all the warnings about Loctite, I want to be sure I don't break or strip anything.
In the photo below, hex bolts #1 hold the caliper to the bracket. I've already removed them (and the caliper) during a trial attempt, but it's not clear to me how to remove the old pads. There's a spring clip at the top somewhere, but that's obviously not the only thing holding them. Do I remove the allen screws #2 to free the pads?
I also need to ask about the front. I think the hex bolts #3 in the photo below are all that's holding the caliper to the fork. What else has to be done to free the pads?
THANKS!!
