today we're going to do something a little bit different I'm filming this entire video with the Galaxy Note seven right now we're on the front facing camera and I'll be filming in 4k on the rear facing camera we're gonna be doing a brake pad replacement on the Ducati Monster s2r 800 so if you're into cell phones watch the video quality of this video and if you actually need your brake pads replaced on the Ducati Monster watch the video itself let's get started alright so we've got the 2006 s 2 R and we're gonna take off the back brakes and replace them this right here is the caliper and there are two Allen bolts right here on either side there's one up there on the other side as well and to remove that you need a six other little allen wrench things once you've got all up in the business of the caliper and loosen it up is a pretty tight fit to get in there and I'm just gonna unscrew these by hand and that should let the caliper drop off and expose the brake pads to us and I will link all the brake pads and tools that you need down in the video description below looks like there's a couple of washers on this don't know if that's factory or not then hopefully this will just come out man barely not enough room that sucks work with me buddy nice okay got it out brake pads are here so on this side of the caliper right here in the center there's a little cotter pin that we're gonna remove and that'll let the center pin slide out so we can drop the brake pads out of the caliper so there's a little cotter pin that just got removed and that should allow us to press on that little niblet I got that pin out the extra bracket falls out and the brake pads we should have been replaced a long time ago fall out as well that's pretty good so here are the replacement brake pads I will link these down the video description as well these ones are the high performance low brake dust so you won't see any of this you know brake dust stuff on the new rim once I get these installed you can see the difference here in brake pad thickness so here next the rear of the bike is the brake fluid for the rear caliper and so we're just gonna pop this off because we're gonna compress the caliper right now in order to fit the new brake pads inside so that should allow for some ventilation before we compress it so since the new brake pads are wider than the old ones we have to compress this piston down inside of the caliper a little bit so I'm just gonna reach my clamps up in there you can use a big C clamp as well and then just kind of pinch it shut and then you'll see it compressed CIN and the brake fluid in the reservoir is rising right now because we're compressing that back in so it might be overflowing a little bit that should give us enough room both sides compress it just took the right clamp to get it to go down still using my channel locks I was able to just grab on that other piston and press it down into place that's in that little metal bracket holds them up in a place all right got the little cotter pin back into place and got the center pin through the caliper and now there should be enough gap here to fit it over the rotor as I put it back into place perfect get these two bolts into place screw them in by hand and then I'll tighten them with the wrench after that remember how we had to compress the calipers so that the new brake pads would fit inside so now we're gonna press on the back brake and that's gonna push the two brake pads into the rotor again so we'll make sure that's good and tight then make sure to screw back on your cap for your rear brake fluid as well so you don't leak any out just keep in mind that the new brake pads you just put on the surface isn't quite level so they're not going to be completely broken until you know 100 miles or so so don't do any extreme stopping unless you're an emergency obviously and make sure that this is good and tight just like it normally would be before you start writing so that the brake pads are completely compressed against the caliper as always with any repair cell phone car or motorcycle you tent this project at your own risk make sure that your brakes are fully functional before you actually take it out onto the road and it's good practice to just check them every now and then anyway you have any questions leave them down in the comments hit that thumbs up if you like this video or if you like the camera on the galaxy note 7 and don't forget to subscribe thanks for watching
