What do you want to know about your brakes.
If it is just pad replacement, just take the pads off use a c-clamp to push the pistons back into the caliper and put new pads on. Reasemble the rear end and press the brake peddel. If you never lost fliud you wont need fluid. There also is no need to bleed if you do it this way. You see if you have a good hydralic system with no leeks. as your pads wear your fluid goes down but when you replace your pads to get them over the disk you need to push the pistons back for clearence and the fuild goes back up into the res, So no need to bleed. It is simple to do.

Shouldn't let the caliper hang by the brake hose. If you caliper uses a pin that the pads slide on, replace it. It gets a groove that hinders pad movement. Are you also putting a new chain on?
Are you going to get it back together in time to break it at the drag races tonight?? Make sure you get that rear wheel on straight and even so the chain runs true from sprocket to sprocket when you put it back on...use the markings on the swing arm. What shop manual did you use that told you to remove the rear end of the bike to do the brakes?? Please tell me you have a manual and are not just tinkering around with your bike...
While you have it apart...how about you clean that machine up?? It's pretty dirty, I can't believe you would be out in public with that mess...
Bee don't be so harsh... :lol: It isn't that bad. I have seen WAY worse... but it does look like the swing arm could use a little brake clean and a rag...
Sorry... :sorry: I just take issues with people treating such delicate machines with disrespect...I guess I get it from my Dad... he would literally slap me up side the head if my bike had anything other than dust on it...I miss him...

Buy that tool or try the string method that I'm not even going to begin to try to explain. That pic of the vortext sprocket is what happens when you combine a poorly installed chain and a bad rear tire alignment! Teeth are GONE!
$22 is cheap for a tool that is as usefull as it is!!!

is this pin supposed to go behind the brake pad(like it is now) or does it need to go in front
