Model: Gasgas Ec300
Part: Brake pads

Hello! Today, you will learn how to replace the rear brake pads on a Gasgas EC300. First, place the bike on a stand and remove the rear wheel by unscrewing the fixing bolts. Next, unscrew the 5 mm screw that secures the brake pads. By removing this pin, the two pads will come out, so you can clean them and insert the new pads, which will obviously be much thicker than the worn ones. Screw the pin back in and reattach the wheel. As you can see, this is a fairly simple operation, although it takes some time, suitable for less experienced mechanics.
