I want to put new rotors on my (current) 85 Westy but I sort of remember having problems back when my old 85 was fairly new and needed brakes. I think there was a problem with having to press bearings into the rotor? before it goes on the hub? I ended up back then taking the new parts (after putting the old rotors back on) to a garage to have the work done. Can someone tell me the straight poop on replacing pads and rotors and what parts have to be pressed on? Thanks all Spencer |
