How do I make leather a leather motorcycle seat?

--Look at the top of the caliper. There is a pin that goes through the caliper and through the brake pads.
--There is a re-useable cotter pin (clip) that goes through that pin to prevent it from coming out (it's between the outer pad and caliper).
--Remove that pin and the pads come right out the top of the caliper.
--Before removing the pads, use a screwdriver to spread the pads apart (this will push the pistons back into the calipers to make room for the new pads).
--You might have to remove some brake fluid from the master cylinder, to push the pistons into the caliper.
--If you do any work with the master cylinder cover off, cover all painted parts of your bike (brake fluid dissolves paint).
--When you get the pads in, pump the brake lever/pedal to push the pistons out and seat the pads. Top off master cylinder.
--Be careful when you first ride the bike with new pads. They won't work until they're broken in. When you get moving, lightly apply and drag the brakes to score up the pads. You'll know when the pads are properly seated if they are strong enough to lock up either wheel. Careful.
