Model: Honda Cb500x
Part: Brake pads

Unscrew the lower bolt that secures the brake caliper: by doing this, the old brake pads should fall out, but if they do not, slightly expand the pistons of the caliper by levering with a flat screwdriver between the caliper and the disc. You can take this opportunity to clean the brake disc, then insert the pads into the caliper housing and hold them in place so they do not fall out. Meanwhile, re-screw the small bolt that secures the caliper and you're done. The advantage of this maintenance on this model of motorcycle is that there is no need to remove the caliper itself to replace the pads.
