cb500 brake pad install...quick question
« on: June 04, 2010, 04:34:05 PM »
When reinstalling new brake pads should the cotter pin be inserted from the pad side out or from the caliper side in towards the brake pad?

On my CB500 the head of the cotter pin was on the pad support and the bent legs were on the outside of the caliper.

Also bent legs to outside on mine, pad has a hole a little bigger on the inside so the head of the cotterpin is not sticking out which would contact the disk.
