well nuts. i can't seem to get the top clutch side (left if sitting on the bike) allen bolt to loosen to remove the calipers. i've got 110k on her and i'm supposing the rotor bolts aren't going to be easy to take off either without heavy duty tools that i don't have. The brake lever side just has the two hex head bolts like in the service manual.
Just called a shop in town and they want 127.00 to replace the rotors and pads. They also state the pads must be replaced with the rotors because you don't want uneven wear patterns due to using preexisting pads. my pads have about 500mi. on them so that would be a bummer to have to toss them.
In reading other posts i'm hearing about people getting front wheels off in about ten minutes once they know what they're doing (read: 45mins as i learn what to do while doing it). Is the shop trying to make extra money off me in parts or are they being honest about pads and rotors being replaced together?
