Decided to document what I did when
I changed my rear brakes on the 1300c
Step 1
Removed the left bolt from the brake housing
using a 12mm socket
Step 2
Once the bolt is removed the brake housing
can pivot on the other bolt
Step 3
use a large flat head screwdriver to
remove the brake retaining bolt cover
Step 4
Once the pin cover is off, Use a 5mm allen wrench
to remove the brake retaining bolt. This can require
quite some force to break loose
Step 5
remove the brake retaining bolt and notice
that the brake pad bolt loops are facing down
and towards the brake housing.
Step 6
I used an old wood clamp to compress the
brake caliper in so putting the new pads in
would be easier.
Step 7
Orient the new pads the same way the old
ones came off and reinstall the retaining bolt
with the 5mm allen wrench . Dont forget the
black bolt cover screw you took off before.
Step 8
Pivot the housing back on the rotor while
pushing in on the pads so they will line up
correctly with the housing retainer clip
(you will feel when its right )
Step 9
reinstall the main housing bolt using a
12mm socket wrench ( dont over torque it )
Step 10
Pump the foot brake so the caliper will decompress
and snug the housing assembly. Thats it you did a brake
job on the rear brakes of your 1300c
I will be doing the front brakes in a couple of weeks
and I wil post it in this thread
