Hello, John Talley here with Partzilla.com.
Today I'm going to walk you through the process to change out the rear brake shoes on our
2007 Yamaha Grizzly YFM700.
Not that tough to do, let's head over to the table, talk about the tools and parts we're
going to need, and then we can dive into it.
So let's go.
Welcome to the tool table.
This is going to be a really simple skill level one.
Now as far as the tools, it's a pretty short list.
Just need a flat blade screwdriver, a 10 and a 17mm socket, a 5mm Allen, maybe an extension,
3/8ths ratchet, and as always, a good torque wrench.
Now if you would, reference our exploded diagrams.
They're going to show you exactly where everything is located on the machine, how its' gonna
come apart, and more importantly how it's going to go back together.
Now do take note: there is a separate part number for the left and right side for the
brake pads.
So, once you've got your tools and your parts together, we can dive into it and I can show
you how to get it done.
Alright guys, just going to get these tires off.
It's just a 17mm.
Now I'm a fan of using an impact to take them off, but I certainly don't do that when I'm
putting them back on.
When we go to put them back on, going to need to put 40 foot pounds on each lugnut.
Alright guys, we've got the tire out of the way and there's only two 12mm that we need
to get off that actually mount the caliper bracket onto the knuckle.
Get the bottom one first.
I want to go ahead and tell you the pads that I'm taking off, they're actually still in
pretty good shape.
So how would you know it's time?
Well, if you put on your brakes and you hear this awful metal-on-metal grinding sound?
Chances are you need to change out your brakes.
Swing her around, and what we want to do next is use a screwdriver to go in between the
pads and go ahead and push the piston back inside the caliper.
So that way the new pads will have enough room to get in there.
Next, we want to get off this cap and then that will expose a pin that actually goes
through the top of each of the brake pads.
Then, you can access that 5mm Allen that's buried down in there.
Now, all we have to do is push in on them, against that spring, and we should be able
to wiggle that pin out.
One.
Two.
Now, just reverse engines, put it back together.
Push in on those springs, and get our pin back through.
We'll stop there for a second.
We're going to go ahead and spread the pads apart and get it back over the rotor.
Once we get it mounted, then we'll go back and torque that pin.
Okay, the actual caliper mounting bolt is 22 foot-pounds, so let's go ahead and get
those torqued down.
And then that pin is going to be 12 foot pounds.
Now don't forget to put that cap back in place.
Alright, so we've got that one done, just need to jump over to the other side and get
it swapped out.
Alright guys, like I said this is the exact same process as we did over on the left side,
and as I mentioned there is a different part number in between the left and the right sides.
So hopefully you took note of that and ordered the correct parts.
The part numbers that I've shown you so far?
Well they're all OEM because honestly that's the one I believe in the most when you're
talking about a direct factor replacement.
Now we do carry aftermarket pads, so if you're more interested in that, by all means go look
them up.
If you're having a little trouble finding the right part number for your machine, give
us a call and we'll take you right to the correct number.
Alright, whenever you're putting on new brake pads, they're going to be a little bit loose
so you want to go ahead and pump them up a couple of times.
Otherwise, when you hit that brake pedal the first time, it's not going to do anything
and that can end badly.
Alright, we're pretty much done with the brake job.
All we need to do now is just remount the tires and get the torqued down to 40 foot-pounds.
Well alright guys, that wraps this little project up.
