| + | ===== Retaining Ring Removal / Installation ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Snap Ring Pliers from Carquest (PN STL46000): | ||
| + | The longer points on the end allow access to the snap ring in the front master cylinders to be removed. \\ | ||
| + | Some snap ring pliers are too big to get in there. | ||
| + | These were purchased from Carquest for less than $20. | ||

| + | ===== Caliper Removal / Installation ===== | ||
| + | 98 style rear caliper mounting bolts (2) require a Torx T-40 driver bit. \\ | ||
| + | The brake hose is fastened to the swingarm with a P-clamp and a 1/4" hex head screw. | ||

| + | ===== Brake Cylinder Hone ===== | ||
| * This zero-cost brake cylinder hone works better on small motorcycle master cylinders than the proper tool you buy at the auto parts store. It fits inside 13-15 mm master cylinders much easier and does not fly apart and scar up the aluminum cylinder bore.

| + | ===== Brake Disc (rotor) ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | |An impact wrench works for loosening the Torx bolts on the rotor to remove it from the rim. \\ Then you can use a regular ratchet to remove them the rest of the way.((photos by Screw Loose Dan of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=274658&highlight=brembo)) || | ||
