How do you change rear brakes on a crf 100. It has a drum brake not a disk and i can't find anywhere that says or shows how to do it. Can someone give me a link or explain how to?thanksHow do you change rear brakes?
You need your bike on some kind of stand or crate to get the rear wheel off the ground. I don't know about your bike specifically but from my experience here's what I'll give you. First, you need to remove the nut that holds the foot brake shaft to the lever on the drum brake itself. Then you remove the codder pin and nut that attaches the torque arm (rod that runs from the swingarm to the drum brake) and let that hang off the swingarm. Then loosen and remove the rear axle, push the tire forward and remove the chain from the sprocket and pull the tire away from the bike. Put down 2 wooden blocks so you can lay the tire sprocket side down on them without having the sprocket on the ground. Now you should be able to pull the drum assembly out of the hub and further disassemble from there.
For reassembly simply reverse the order. Good luck!How do you change rear brakes?
You would need a new wheel, brake caliper, master cylinder, brake lever and swingarm. Forget itHow do you change rear brakes?
Spend the money for a good manual and you won't be sorry.
When I did a repair on an older Honda with no available manual, I took a bunch of digital pictures as I took it apart and made sure it looked the same (but cleaner and properly lubed and adjusted) when it went back together.
I have had many bikes and cars apart over the years though, so I have a pretty good idea how things are supposed to look and go back together. Even then, I spent a lot of time trying to find a source of the actual procedures because a little guess-work at the wrong time can cost you lots of time and money.
If you really don't want to get a manual, go see if you can get one of the guys at a local dealer to talk you through the steps and let you know if there is anything to watch out for. Most of those guys are fellow riders who will take time out to help another rider out. It never hurts to ask.
Good luck.How do you change rear brakes?
