"On behalf of Expert Village my name is Seth Williams. I work for D - K Service and I'm here to tell you about simple street bike brake repair and inspection. It's going to be the reassembly or the brake caliper with the brake pads. Make sure you put them in the right direction. One pad facing on both ways. Once you get those aligned in there turn the pad over. Put in your pins. Put in your cotter pins to lock your pins into place. Once that's finished you want to put in the brake retaining pins in. This is where it will get a little difficult as you need to manipulate these around one of the brake pins. Sometimes a flat head screwdriver, sometimes your fingers. There?s one. There?s Two. We're ready for installation of the brake caliper onto the mounting plates."
