I did a brake inspection, clean, and lube on the FX4 today. Not bad and definitely much better than the setup on the 2011 model. Outside of the parking brake mechanism on the back brakes, they are essentially smaller version of the front ones. Be advised, that if you do you own work, you will need a tool to crank the piston back when changing pads. I'll need to see if I can find the tool commercially. It's essentially a T-Handle with a disc on the other end with two studs to grip the piston slots. When fully backed down, the slots should align with a reference point on the caliper housing.
