Lehman Monarch II Brake pads.

[Tagg]

Hi All, I'm going to replace the rear brake pads on my newly acquired 2009 Honda GoldWing 1800 with the Monarch 2 Trike kit. The bike has aprox. 12,000 miles on it and the pads are gone. Just wondering if anyone has done this and if there are any Tricks in doing the pads. Any info would be helpful. Thanks.

Remove the wheel, the caliper is in 2 parts, the outside and inside halves held together by 2 5/16" bolts. Use a 1/2" wrench to separate the outer half, remove it and the outer pad, remove the rotor, remove the inner pad. Install the new pads in reverse order and making sure the pad material is facing the rotor. Install the outer half and slowly tighten the bolts. Check brake fluid to make sure the reservoir is not over filled.

Repeat operation on the other side.

Ok, thanks Lee H. Mann. I know the general replacement of disc pads but, not sure on the Lehman trike. Is the master cylinder on the right handle bar the cylinder it will push fluid back into when the caliper is pushed back ? Is there any slides that will need lubricated or on the bolts for the caliper to move correctly ? I have seen mention to clean caliper before caliper is pushed back open. Finally, is there any special holds on the disc pads ? Thanks.

The rear master cylinder reservoir is located under the chrome engine cover on the right side. Mounted to the rear of the engine. You can clean and lube the pins and the caliper piston but do not remove either.
