Booth11 Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 These turned up today! I’ll fit them in next couple days. Presumably the old ones just lever off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the case as far as everyone knows. I am going to refurb my plate as I’ve purchased the stick on R but didn’t want to remove the plate in case it wouldn’t stay on properly afterwards without new grommets. I'm afraid they are correct. There is no part listed separately. Penguin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy01 Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 Surely the silver grommet can be reused. ? If anyone takes their old plates off comment If the grommets remain in one piece. Do the grommets come off with the plate or stay attached to the calliper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wrapped my black silver, a pp replica if you will. The grommets on mine came off with thee backing plate. Just levered off with a screwdriver and knocked back in by hand.

phazer Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 There is nothing in the workshop manual about removal/replacement etc which Is unusual but they are shown in the front brake component break down. The "clamping sleeve" should be re-usable I reckon, just an interference fit. I'd use a trim tool and lever around all edges evenly to remove.

There’s a few YouTube clips wherein exactly that method is used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booth11 Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Found this vid. Will give it a go later today. Fortunately I have such a trim tool and a mallet to hand. Penguin and _bigbird01 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget to put some cardboard or an old MF over the plates when you're tapping them in so you don't scratch them with the Mk1 striking device. 😃 Booth11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
