TYPE F calipers have
a red Avid logo
badge here
TYPE N calipers have
a red and white Avid
logo decal on the back
of the body.
The most common problem that doesn’t require disassembly:
A common BBDB call we get is about a caliper with the outboard pressure foot dislodged. If the outboard adjustment
knob is turned too far clockwise without the rotor in the caliper (wheel off or caliper removed), the outboard pressure foot
can be pushed out of the drive cam and float free in the caliper body. The brake is not broken and it doesn’t need to be
disassembled to replace the pressure foot.
To replace the pressure foot, turn the outboard adjuster knob counter clockwise until it stops. If the knob doesn’t stop,
then the footscrew (you can see the end of the footscrew in the center of the knob) has become disengaged from the
knob, and possibly from the threads inside the drive cam. In this case, remove the knob, then use some small needle-
nosed pliers or a Schrader-valve tool to turn the foot screw all the way back out until it stops. Once this is accomplished
the pressure foot can be replaced. Relocate the pressure foot into the bore, then give it a firm push in the center. It will
“click” back into place.
If you removed the outer knob, replace it, and you’re done!
WARNING
Brakes are a safety-critical item on a bicycle. Improper re-assembly of this or any other brake component can result in
loss of control or an accident, which could lead to a serious injury or death. The work detailed in this guide is
intended for and should only be performed by professional bike mechanics.
This overhaul guide covers the TYPE F and TYPE N models of Avid’s Ball Bearing Disc Brake. While these brakes are
very similar in design, there are some differences in assembly and internal parts. As you follow the guide, any steps that
are the same will only contain pictures for the TYPE N brake. One easy way to tell if you are working on a TYPE F or
TYPE N caliper is this:
About the Truss Bolts:
Avid’s Ball Bearing Disc Brake calipers are a one piece body that incorporate 2 Truss Bolts for strength. These bolts
have tamper-proof heads, and are not be removed for any reason.
Truss Bolts
These bolts should not be removed for any
reason! If you have the proper tool, you can
check that the torque is 50-55 In. Lbs.
Otherwise, don’t touch them!
About the Spreader Clip:
Avid’s TYPE N Ball Bearing Disc Brakes utilize a pad spreader clip that sits between the pads (instead of magnets) to
keep them retracted. The original spreader clip had two ears with loops that protruded from the caliper, but we have
since changed the design. The new clip works exactly the same way, but has nothing sticking out of the caliper.

Torque Specs:
Recommended Grease:
Use a grease with a minimum temperature rating of 400 degrees Farenheit such as Tri-Flowtm High Performance
Synthetic Grease with Teflon
®
or Pro-Gold EPX Cycle Grease.
Lockring 140-150 In. Lbs
Torque Arm Fixing Nut 55-60 In. Lbs
Truss Bolts 50-55 In. Lbs

Tools needed:
3/8 drive ratchet, Avid MDT-1 lockring tool, 11mm socket, 11mm box-end wrench, 1.5mm and 5mm hex wrenches,
flat-blade screwdriver, torque wrench (50-150 In. Lbs range), small needle-nose pliers or a Schrader-valve tool.
Shop supplies:
Degreaser or solvent, mild soap, grease (see below for grease recommendations), a small brush, and thread-lock such
as Loctite 272.
TYPE F TYPE N
STEP 1: PREPARE FOR DISASSEMBLY
Remove the cable anchor bolt and plate, then pull
the cable housing and inner wire free of the
caliper. Remove the boots, and, if working on a
TYPE F caliper, the separate housing ferrule in
the cable stop. Also on TYPE F calipers, use a
2.5mm hex wrench to completely remove the
spring tension adjustment screw.
STEP 2: REMOVE THE OUTBOARD
KNOB
A.Turn the outboard pad knob counter-clockwise
until it stops, then back in clockwise 3 full turns to
recess the footscrew in the knob.
NOTE:
Turning the outboard knob more than 3 full
turns can dislodge the outer pressure foot
from the drive cam. If this happens, proceed
with removing the knob. After step 2-C, the
pressure foot can be pressed back into place.
C. Turn the now exposed footscrew back out
(counter-clockwise) until it stops.
B. Remove the knob with a small flat-blade
screwdriver, being careful not to mar the surface
of the torque arm.

STEP 3: INSTALL PAD SPACER
Turn out the inboard adjuster (counter-clockwise)
until there is enough clearance between the pads
for a 2mm pad spacer. Insert the spacer, then
turn in the inboard knob (clockwise) until it stops.
Check the torque arm for movement. If it moves,
turn the footscrew clockwise until it is secure.
NOTE:
If you need to fabricate a pad spacer, be sure
to use cardboard or something similar that
will not damage the surface of the friction
material.
TYPE F TYPE N
STEP 4: REMOVE TORQUE ARM
A. Place your thumb over the spring loaded
torque arm as shown and hold securely.
B. Remove the torque arm fixing nut using an
11mm wrench.
C. While continuing to hold the torque arm,
remove the indexed washer and flat washer.

TYPE N
TYPE F
D. TYPE F - Remove the torque arm, outer body
seal, and spring together, then remove the
hex-hole washer.
E. TYPE F - Tip the bike to allow the spring
adjuster plate and lockring retainer to fall into
your hand.
D. TYPE N - Remove the torque arm, spring
adjuster, outer body seal, and spring together,
then remove the hex-hole washer.
E. TYPE N - Tip the bike and allow the lockring
retainer to fall into your hand.

STEP 7: REMOVE CAMS
Pull out the cam/outboard pressure foot assem-
bly. Once this assembly is out, remove the pads
and pad spacer from the caliper.
STEP 8: REMOVE INBOARD ADJUSTER
KNOB
Using a small flat blade screwdriver, remove the
inboard adjuster knob.
STEP 5: FREE LOCKRING
Using the Avid MDT-1 Lockring Tool and a 3/8
drive ratchet, break the lockring free. Now
remove the caliper from the bike.
STEP 6: REMOVE LOCKRING
Using the MDT-1 by hand, completely remove the
lockring.

STEP 9: REMOVE INBOARD PRESSURE
FOOT
Turn the inboard pressure foot clockwise until it is
free, then remove it through the main body bore.
STEP 10. REMOVE INNER BODY SEAL
There is one split in this seal for installation and
removal purposes. Engage the seal at the split
with an x-acto knife or other small sharp tool and
carefully remove it.
STEP 11: CAM DISASSEMBLY
A. Lift the fixed cam off of the drive cam, being
careful not to lose the 3 ball bearings.
B. Use small needle-nose pliers or a Schrader
valve core tool to turn the foot screw clockwise
until the outboard pressure foot is driven out of
the drive cam. Continue turning the foot screw
until it is completely unthreaded from the drive
cam.
