How to Replace Brake Pads on SYM Cruise 150?
2 Answers
Loosen all wheel fastening bolts by half a turn to utilize the friction between the tire and the ground, making it easier to loosen the wheel bolts. Lift the vehicle until the wheels are slightly off the ground, then unscrew all wheel bolts and remove the wheels. It's best to place the removed wheel under the brake disc. Remove the two bolts securing the brake caliper and take off the brake caliper. The brake caliper has flexible hydraulic lines; place them on the front axle suspension nearby. Use sandpaper to chamfer the edges of the brake pads that contact the brake disc. Apply a small amount of grease to the raised areas on both sides of the new brake pads to prevent knocking noises between the new brake pads and the caliper bracket.
Prepare the necessary tools: an 8mm socket wrench and matching new brake pads. After parking the vehicle securely, remove the caliper mounting bolts to detach the entire caliper assembly. When removing the old brake pads, be careful not to scratch the brake disc. If the piston protrudes too much, use a tool to press it back. Thoroughly clean the dust around the caliper piston. Install the new pads ensuring the correct orientation and that they snap into the positioning slots. When reinstalling the caliper and tightening the bolts, feel by hand to ensure proper seating. After replacement, gently squeeze the brake lever to reset the piston. Drive at low speed for the first few kilometers to break in the pads and check for even braking force. Wear gloves throughout the process to protect your fingers. Finally, dispose of the old brake pads separately in a plastic bag.
