Replaced the rear pads with thanks to Pete Van ****'s well illustrated post but also planned to replace the rotor (heavily scored) with a new EBC. It's a '00, K1200LT
Had to use an easy-out on one of the screws but finally removed it w/o damage to the tapped hole.
Now my issue is removing the ABS ring. Prior posts called for penetrating fluid and then perhaps a stint in the freezer to break it loose but can't believe that the three screws with just a piece of the head flange held the ring on the rotor.
Anyway, check the photos and verify that I just need to break the bond at the arrows. Afraid to tap it with a hammer for fear of damaging the ring.
What next?
