Easiest Way to Change Brakes

[Vancouver Hobbies]

I bent one of the horizontal pins on my brakes (My fault - spilled bearing retainer all over when trying to lock the brass bushing in place!)


What is the easiest way to remove the entire brake assembly, pins, pads etc?


Looks like I pretty much have to strip the chassis to get them out of there.


Any better way?

I don't think there is any "easy way". It looks like you just have to dive in there and do it. If you do find out something that makes it easier please let us all know.

Pulled the motor out. It wasn't too bad. Had it out in less than 10 minutes.


Hardest part was breaking the motor mounts screws loose...they were buggers!

Pulling the motor is very easy. But, the first time, you need to heat the 2 screws under the fan cover.
