Hi.
Can anyone advise on a braking problem please.
I'm working on my Grandson's 2016 Cadwell, which unfortunately hasn't been serviced since new.
Rear brake Master Cylinder rusted solid , scrapped. New one on order.
Rear brake caliper pads metal to metal. Scrap. New Disc fitted. replacement pads bought.
QUESTION:- When fitting new brake pads to the caliper, do the SHIMS fitted to the original Pads have to be fitted to the new pads?
I can't find any information relating to my question, or anyone selling these parts.
Assistance would be much appreciated.

Re: Rear brake problem
Welcome, Peter.
There is a Haynes manual (No. 4871) which covers 125cc Chinese bikes as most are very similar:
I've had a quick look at mine and it says when shims are fitted to refit them ensuring that they are correctly fitted according to the arrows on them.......:

Re: Rear brake problem
Hi.Spriddler,
Yes, I had seen and read that part, but it dosn't relate to my caliper, ours is a single cylinder.
Our caliper is part number 1610101-304000. sorry to be precise, in the AJS Catalogue.
It also shows the pads but no shims, plus, if I fit the shims, then I can't get the caliper on the wheel
Not sure where to go next.
But, thanks for you response

Re: Rear brake problem
So the pad was previously worn to the metal and in order to do so a shim had been fitted. You now have a new disc and pads and the they don't fit if you include the shims which are not shown in the AJS catalogue? Well I would fit it all without the shims and test it as this seems the most logical conclusion, but what do I know, I am still fiddling about with 5 1/2 inch single leading shoe brakes from the 1940's!

Hi. Clive.
Thanks for your comment
I'm slowly coming round to that way of thinking, suck it and see.
But, I had to ask the question.

Re: Rear brake problem
I think the shims we're talking about are actually anti-squeel not spacers.

Re: Rear brake problem
That's why they are fitted on cars to eliminate brake squeal.
