RE: Rear brake pad replacement
There is another way to retract the piston by pressing the 2 brake pads to one side, then lever on the metal side of the brake pad as picture below (to prevent damage to the brake pad) and press it to retract the piston.

Rear brake pad replacement
Reviving an old thread here.

Do you guys reuse the "clip plates" that are on the backs of the factory rear pads? Looks like a backer plate and a paper gasket?

I just put the rear back together and realized these plates are on the factory rear pads?

I'm looking at the factory service manual and it doesn't mention or show anything about these "backer plates" in installing brake pads.

Not sure what to do

RE: Rear brake pad replacement
Honda Africa Twin users of OEM brake pads are using the backing plate.

They are not for aftermarket because they won't fit.

Good to know, I would have learned they didn't fit then if the new pads weren't already mounted when I discovered the plates haha.

Thank you Gold

Do OE pads come with new backing plates or should I make sure I hold on to these for OE in the future?

RE: Rear brake pad replacement
I just replaced the pads on a 14. Moved the factory plates over to the new EBC pads on rear. Fronts do not have any. New OEM rears come with new plates but not available separate.

Good to know also, my paranoia has me wanting to see if the plates will fit in the sixity pads for piece of mind. Feel like I'm lacking a spacer or something now haha

They are not shown as separate items on the parts fiche.

Good question. I cannot recall. My grey matter is telling me to save the originals just in case. I'll have to go through a set to determine myself - and that could be a long time.

Yea thats what I saw in the factory service manual also it was just the set of pads. No separate backing plates in the schematics.

Hey wrxer above mentioned new OEM pads come with the new plates to answer our question.

I'm in the habit of keeping old parts anyways as replacements or for reference in the future so ill still hold onto mine since they had some life left.
