Hi guys,

I have just bought an upside down front end to put into the GS850.

What I need is a step by step guide on how to put the brake pads into the Nissin four pot calipers.

Does any one know where I can find such a thing...along the lines of the carb cleaning series on here?

Any help, as always, much appreciated.

What make/model front end did you get?

I beleive that the USD front came from a GSXR 750 WN or WP approx 1989 - 93. The forKs are 29" (740mm) to the spindle with a 17" front wheel.

I'd recommend digging up the service manual for the bike that the USD front came from for the details on how to replace the pads. If in question, take it to a mechanic, as brake pads and their proper installation are one of those things that are critical to your safety.

Good advice!

This is what the USD front end is going into.
