Need to replace brake pads in 80!

[greenseaman]

I've got a grinding sound in the front end of the 80 so I hope it's just the brake pads. Looks like I'll be replacing them this week!

IIRC it's really simple..just pull the pins and lift them out.

 

[greenseaman]

Yep, should be pretty easy! I ordered the 100 series pads today from Tim at TRD Sparks. I've said it before, but they are a great bunch of guys over there! And the discount doesn't hurt either!! Sure wish we could get Jamie on another outing!

I just did mine and the 100's were a heck of a squeeze. So tight I almost thought about sanding some material off. But it's been about a month now with no issues. Btw I'm a new cruiser owner from Conway just dropping in to say hey. -Rob

 

[greenseaman]

I'm in conway, too! Oops, I should change my profile. We should get together some time. I live on night owl lane near 22 and 501. Where are you at? I replaced them last time with 100 pads and was able to get them to fit. Did you take the anti-squeal pads out?

 

[haligen]

I live right off of 16th ave by Collins park. might have been the pads, I used some advance auto pads since I was almost metal to metal when I got the cruiser home from Florence.

 

[greenseaman]

I hope to see you around soon! It'll be great having another 80 in the area!

For parts, you should try Jamie or Tim up at SparksToyota Internet Sales. They are great guys and give a discount to club members. I get all my stuff from them. Plus it saves on shipping!

Hey! Halegen just to let you know you are welcome to come if to the january Hammon at my place provided my schedule works out both Greenseaman and David know the way. Cruiser is spoken there and some even get worked on. Have a good one. Doc

I went there to get a set of keys cut and Jamie was awesome but the guys at the parts counter were less then desirable to say the least.

Sound good to me. I work a wacko schedule only one out of every three days so if it falls inline I'm game.

 

[greenseaman]

I'll have to call you tomorrow so we can talk cruisers Maybe you won't be working...
