    Rear Brakes: 13 min 30 sec

    Wow, that felt good. A 6mm Hex key, Torque wrench, big screwdriver and a pair of plies is all it took.

    Re: Rear Brakes: 13 min 30 sec

    It took me about 30 minutes to replace the pads on my in part because I had to remove the rear plastic so I could get to the brake fluid. It took about the same amount of time to do both of the front brakes about a month ago.

    And the front brakes are just dropped in with a couple of pins and individual cotter pins but the rear has a cotter pin clip and a couple of pressure wires. That was a pain to get back together.

    That's only because it's got a hole in it.
