Opening is not so easy.  You have to first remove the tail housing and then remove the 10 bolts that hold on the top cover.  There is a trick to sliding the cover to one side before it will disengage and lift off. The forks stay with the cover so you can replace those pads right there.  If the pads have been worn out for a while, the forks may be ground down on the tabs for the fork pads and would need replacing as well.  There are YouTube videos that will show how to take it apart and put it back together. The sealant used should be something basic like Permatex Ultra-Black.  The super-duper sealants dry like epoxy and make it really hard to get it open the next time...Stan</blockquote>
