1994 Honda 300ex - Brake Pads~Am I An Idiot?


Recommended Posts

So on the 94 300EX rear pads I am having some issues....

Pins and lock tabs out, check.

Back off e-brake, check.

Caliper mounting bolts out, check.

Pads out, check.

Clean around piston area and use small c-clamp to push piston in, check.

Install new pads and clean, lubricated pad pins with lock, check.

Install caliper on mount, NADA, not gonna happen. Even with the piston all the way in there is NO WAY that the rotor is going to fit between the pads.. WTH??? Any suggestions? I feel like I am :beatdeadhorse5c:. No way should I have spent this much time on a stinking set of pads.. Thanks in advance.

Im not sure if the 300ex is the same as the 400ex but when i did changed my rear pads to ebc they kept getting hung up on the caliper and i couldnt seperate them wide enough to get them over the rotor. Eventually Saturns moons aligned with Venus and the pads mysteriously fell into place. Not sure how but when all was together there was about a 1/16" of space on each side of the rotor till i used the brake. I still dont know what happened

      I WANTED TO UPGRADE THE CARBURATOR ON MY 1992 BIG BEAR 350, SO I ORDERED A NEW CARB FROM EBAY.  ACCORDING TO THE WRITE-UP IT WAS A GOOD FIT FOR BIG BEARS FROM 1988 TO 1996.  WHEN I REMOVED MY ORIGINAL CARB I NOTICED THAT IT WAS DIFFERENT FROM THE NEW CARB MY CARB HAD TWO THROTTLE  CABLES THE NEW CARB ONLY HAD ONE CABLE.  HOW CAN I MAKE THIS CARB WORK ON MY TWO CABLE THROTTLE?

      1996 4x4 Timberwolf rearend width. Can someone with some knowledge of these machines answer this question for me please. Are all 4x4 timberwolves this narrow in the rearend? These tires are so close the right one actually rubs the muffler.  Thinking about seeing if there are any spacers out there for it. I need at least an inch more clearance.

      I’m looking for a top end kit for a Yamaha. I would like to see how well the engine runs before spending $6-$7 hundred on oem. Niche has complete kits from $1-$2 hundred.  Anyone have experience with Niche or similar Chinese companies?

      Does anyone use GPS, whether on a device or app to record their ATV trail rides? I have been thinking about a section where our members can upload let's say a .gpx file and share their rides on a google map for others to see where there are riding areas. Not sure if this is something of interest or how much it would be used, so just trying to get an idea.
