You are welcome. And what about the boat show specials? I want to buy a couple of them for clients who just sold their place and are going to travel the world in their sailboat. Can I get a good deal?

Yep, take them out while painting.
Just lift up on the tab on the end of each brake pad and pull it out. There is a magnet on the end of each adjustment screw, which is all that’s keeping them in there – easy.

Hi Petes,
The bolt is quite tight. Don’t worry the spring is embedded below the bearings and won’t pop out on you. Just don’t lose the bearings. It’s best to leave the washers covering the bearings on and stuff a paper towel piece around the shaft and in the threaded hole; same on the other end. I did not have to plug the small holes for the allen screw that lock the disc adjustments.

green or yellow on my black strida – maybe red
when you are taking the allen bolt out that holds the spring arm, do i have to worry about a mainspring coming out? – the bolt is very tight

I’m doing it. There is a flat brick red available in the auto parts store, but I like that green…
