![]() There are specific tools for pushing pads back , and some multitools will have something too, but using a large, flat-bladed screwdriver or tyre lever carefully achieves the same thing. Skip this step, and you'll struggle to get the disc and wheel back in with the new pads. You will then need to push the pistons back - worn pads are thinner than new ones, and hydraulic systems automatically push them out to compensate. To remove the pads, first, remove the wheel and then clean the calliper with disc brake cleaner and then wipe it clean with a clean rag or tissues. To complement last year’s introduction of the Gary Fisher Roscoe, shop mechanics may also want to grab the new Bontrager bearing press sized for that model’s pivot bearings.If you know the exact model and year of your brakes, then this is a good starting point, but the best way to know if new ones will fit to remove the old ones and visually compare them - you're going to have to do this anyway if they're worn out, so it's no great hardship. The top-end Rollbar 18 includes all the usual suspects plus other handy bits like a disc brake pad spreader, chain tool and a built-in tyre lever, plus storage for a spare chain link and pin. The Rollbar collection of mini-tools is revamped, too, with three models (8, 12, 18) to suit the task at hand. A new Chaintool features a built-in tray to hold onto one side of the chain during pin installation, a two-side driver pin for double the useful lifespan, and a magnetic pocket to store spare links.
