Installing front brake pads...
Ok, got my pads. Going out to the garage in a few minutes to install. Any handy tips to make this easy? I used to be able to change all three sets of pads on my XX in 30 minutes without removing any wheels or calipers. One pin each, slide out the old, leverage the piston back in, slide the new pads, put the caliper pins back in and done. Is it that easy on the ZX? Do I need to take the wheel off? Need to remove the caliper? I haven't gotten my manual yet, so I'm hoping someone has done this and has some info. Thanks!

Thanks. I got it done in about 20 minutes. Getting the retaining spring, pad, and bolt lined up sucked though LOL! About as easy as doing my XX pads, even though I had to take off the caliper.
