Brake pad change

I did a search on youtube for this and found a good one for cb750 front disk pad change, but can't seem to find any on the rear brakes. Anyone have a link to a video on this? Also, looks like the front pads are easy enough to change and you don't have to take the wheel off...is it the same for the rear or do you have to take the rear wheel off to do the job?

Rear should be just the same. No need to remove the rear wheel unless it is a drum break.

Re: Brake pad change

No, it's definitely a disk.......wonder why the guy at the cycle shop said that he would charge me the same to change a tire as to change brakes since both require the removal of the wheel to do the operations? Think he was just trying to gouge me?

He was probably just saying it would cost the same, because it would take about the same amount of time. However it is easier to change the break pads then the rear tire.
