Hey guys,
My bike needs a bit of TLC at the moment.. Oil, filters, carbs, front pads, brake fluid are all good so just want to clean brake pistons (full of dust), replace dust seals, rear pads and maybe wheel bearings if it isnt too hard.
I know how to take the rear wheel off.. Is it then easy to change the rear sprocket? What about the front sprocket? And is it easy to measure how many links you need to take out of the new chain, and then connect the chain together and put it on?
Also, would I be able to replace the wheel bearings and dust seals myself?
In regards to cleaning brake pistons, do you just undo the caliper bolts, remove the brake pads, spray the pistons with brake cleaner and then just scrub with an old toothbrush??..
Dumb question but I can remove my front calipers (to clean the pistons) without a front stand, right?
Thanks
