I feel very damn
I have taken out the old brake pad
its very strange, the outside one already worn until no pad left
but the inside one still got a lot
Not sure why is this happening.


Than when there r no pad, i wan to see the cylinder, i go press the brake padel
than now is very damn
the cylinder is out and i cannot push them back

than it start to rain very heavily

damn

even the mechanic also take 2 hours to push the piston back
