    Changing Rear Brake Pads/ Brake Reservoir Location

    From experience , one of the things to check when fitting new pads is to clean the rubbish build up under the clips (9) on the diagram. Took me 2 hours to get rid of it , but if you dont then you may well find that the pads are sticking on . Then they dont last very long at all
