Removing the Brakes: Step 13 - Inspecting the Brake Hardware and Pads

Now that we have all the bits and pieces it’s time to give things the once over. All the brake hardware for one front caliper is shown here. Keep an eye out for an uneven pad wear, as it may indicate a sticking slider pin.

You also want to check over the hardware and springs to make sure there are not cracks and odd wear patterns. You can reuse your brake hardware, but it’s super cheap to replace, so I’d recommend you replace everything when you swap pads. Keep your old parts though as you may need them if you loose something.
