How to Change the Front Brakes on a Suzuki Eiger
- 1). Park the ATV on a flat, level surface. Use a socket wrench and a breaker bar to loosen the wheel lugs on the front wheels. Raise the front of the ATV with a floor jack and place jack stands underneath.
- 2). Remove the wheel lugs from the front wheels. Grasp each tire with both hands and pull them off of the front axle. Set the tires and wheel lugs aside in a safe location.
- 3). Use the socket wrench to remove the two bolts holding the front brake caliper to the mounting bracket. Lift the caliper off of the front brake rotor. Use an Allen socket to remove the brake pad pins from the caliper.
- 4). Pull the brake pads out of the caliper. Separate the pads from the retaining clip and remove the metal shims from the back of the pads. Attach the shims to the back of the new pads and connect them to the retaining clip.
- 5). Use a slotted screwdriver to press the caliper piston back inside of the caliper. Insert the brake pads and retaining clip into the caliper. Reinsert the brake pad pins and tighten them with the Allen socket.
- 6). Place the caliper over the brake rotor and reattach it to the caliper bracket. Tighten the retaining bolts with the socket wrench. Repeat the procedure with the other front wheel.
- 7). Mount the wheel onto the front axle. Hand-tighten the wheel lugs before setting the vehicle on the ground. Remove the jack stands and lower the vehicle with the floor jack. Use the socket wrench to tighten the wheel lugs. Press the front brake lever repeatedly until the brake lever feels firm.
