A c clamp works wonders for pushing the pistons in.

Thanks for nice video, just changed my pads, same way as you did, 15 minutes for all.

[@Jimbobbington]

Great to hear!

Non-chlorinated brake cleaner for the caliper and pistons, and what else? Did you clean the components with a brush? Or compressed air? Or just a rag? I’m totally new to mechanics, but determined to do my jobs on my Scout. Thanks for the vid.

[@Jimbobbington]

Just regular old brake cleaner, don't know if it was chlorinated or not. Just sprayed everything and wiped with a rag.

[@majrminer]

@@Jimbobbington ok thank you. The shop tech was telling me don’t use the regular stuff because it corrodes the rubber components. Just passing third party info

Hello. I was wondering if you could do a video in all the tools one should get in order to do basic maintenance in the scout bobber. I am a college student, and want to save money by changing my brakes, oil, and brake fluid etc.

[@Jimbobbington]

My favorite tool in my inventory has gotta be a mini ratchet kinda like this one. Has come in handy so many times. Second best tool is a 3/8 drive socket wrench. You can get a socket that will hold all the same bits as the Mini Ratchet. Don't buy a big bit set, so many will go unused. I typically pick bits/sockets up as I need them, at a couple bucks a piece.

Nice video. You should refill the brake fluid after changing the braking pads.

[@Jimbobbington]

Shouldn't need to unless there's a leak. Brake flush is part of the 10k service as well anyway which came shortly after this video.

[@aussie1546]

never refill brake fluid. If fluid is low that is indicator that your pads are low, or you have fluid leak. Fluid should be changed whole in system as per mileage or time table, usually every two years

Thanks for sharing 😊

[@Jimbobbington]

You bet!

There’s a pin under the 2 rubber boots that look to me like the manual says to lube but you don’t know how to get to them.

[@allthekidsareright]

I just pulled in it and it came out. So you pull the part with the slides off to lube them.

[@timference133]

It’s been a year how are those pads holding up do you recommend them

[@Jimbobbington]

So far they are still great! Braking power is awesome and rotors show no signs of uneven wear.

[@johnnieharris3570]

Totally unrelated…is the fuel tank single or double walled? Member wanted to know…knew IF YOU didn’t know…NO ONE would!!! 😎😎😎

[@Jimbobbington]

I saw that post, honestly not sure, but I doubt it's double walled.

[@r92871]

Bike is totalled. Part it out

[@Jimbobbington]

Never!
