1991 kdx 200 brake pad insallation
hey i just bought a mint 1991 kdx 200 it did not have front brake pads in it though and the caliper seemed a little beat so i bought a used caliper for cheap and some new brake pads. The brake is a single piston brake caliper off an 89 kdx 200 i think, well it fits on the bike fine and it bleed fine but when the piston pushes out the piston side brake pads obviously moves with it and slides out of its holding place in the mounting plate that is screwed to the bike. I do not know much about this but how do i put the brake pads in so they do not keep falling out? thanks.
P.S. please help ASAP it stinks when i stall on a hill climb and cant get the bike started without rolling backwazrds down the hill. thanks
