my brakes seem to be out to get me. if u remeber my story, probably not, the local service dude was supposed to pick my quad up last friday. he keeps putting me off, and doesn't even call me! now i'm reconsidering doing the job myself, or with my cousin. i have the cables adjusted all the way out, and they ( brakes) are barely grabbing. i'm pretty positive i need new cables ( front brakes). how hard is it to replace cables? now the back brakes, those are a biotch to repalce the pads, in my experience anyway, and i don't really know how to remove the old ones. maybe i need to bring out the heavy artillery for this one....:-D......
 
If your brakes are still good, in a pinch you can adjust the arm on the brakes back a spline or 2 to gain some more travel
 
i tried that, but those things are wicked screwed up. i put new springs in, but they are still not working right. is it a pain to put new brke cables in ( front and rear ) ???
