rear brake for 1978 Z1r

I've been searching for a shop/repair manual that includes info on the '78 KZ1000, particularly the brake pad changing procedure for the rear disc brake (of the Z1R model). I have the complete parts diagram/list that shows the parts but no details on pad changing procedure. Earlier model rear disc brakes of '76 & '77 I am familiar with. Somewhere I saw a shop repair manual that included the '78 model rear disc brake systems (the square pad version calipers of the Z1R's) but I am at a loss to find it now lol. I just don't want to pop them out not being certain of what clips, springs or keepers that will come out with them, so I can be assured that I have them reinstalled correctly. I saved a couple pics of the caliper in question to my PC but apparently they didn't get to the intended folder. I will post a pic or 2 when I find them if it helps. Thanks for any tips or info.

P.S. I did find what I was looking for, a downloadabl pdf's of various manuals. Apparently UK versions but I found the info I needed about my particular work in question. This info might be useful to others...
