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 |
