Unfortunately I am unable to check the calipers as i dont have the tools here (student house) or the know-how. But should be able to remove the rearset and look over the master-cylinder ect.

The whole thing is pretty easy, you'll need (if my memory serves me correctly) a couple of allen keys, 5mm and one a bit smaller, i think its about 3mm and i think a 6mm aswell. A 10mm spanner/socket. A pair of thin nose pliers is also pretty handy.
This is for a pointy, not sure on curvys... By the heel plate are 2 allen headed bolts, undo those to release the brake system from the back of the rearset. Undo the 10mm bolt behind the heelplate where it goes into a point towards the rear. Then loosen off the 2 allen headed bolts holding the rearset onto the frame. Behind the rearset is then the light switch for the brake pedal. Take this out of the mount on the rearset and take off the spring, noting which way it goes. The whole rearset and peg should now be free from the bike apart from the end of the brake pedal which is still attached to the brake. Be careful and dont let it hang by its own weight from this joint. Youll need the pliers here to undo the split pin on the back on the larger pin holding the lever onto the brake (i have totally forgotten the technical word for that bit by the way). Once you have that undone, everything should be free now. Put the rearset on the floor in such a way that it wont break but you can still put some reasonable force onto the bolt holding the footpeg to the rearset. Undo this. Be mindful of the spring for the brake pedal itself aswell. Lob a bit of grease in there its pretty obvious where youre supposed to put it. Not too much otherwise it will squirt everywhere when everything goes back together. Actual grease, not WD40 or 3 in 1. Then reverse what youve just done to put it back together. Make sure you do everything back up tight, goes for most things really. Also if your rear wheel is out while youre doing this, make sure you dont accidentally apply pressure to the brake, its a sod to reverse. Thats from memory, but i dont think ive missed anything.... Quite a straightforward job ![]() |

Same process on the Curvy!
Just the split pin should be replaced while in there
