i am looking at a 87 trx250x. i went and saw it today and the brakes had been removed because the owner was going to replace them but never got around to it. however he has all of the brakes and it is all new. how hard is it to install the brakes and scince i am not the best with mechanics about how much would it cost to have a shop install the brakes.
thanks

Welcome to the Forums!
To have a shop do it would be ugly! They are always HIGH!
Is it just pads or has the hydralics been unhooked. Calipers etc????

Welcome to the forums. I agree with Tom, I would try to do it myself. It's not really that hard.

The only pain in the but is bleeding the brakes. I would get a service manual for the proper way to reasemble and to make sure you have everything you need.

Yeah, it is a pain to bleed the brakes, but not undoable. With a repair manual and a little patience, you should be OK.

where could i get a manual

 

[tomgodd]

Honda has them and then you could try some online sources like Ebay.
Somebody may be able to find you a download for one.

If you can't find one free online, you can download one from Tradebit for $4.25.
