    Yes - follow the instructions. If you don't have them, download from Shimano.

    click on Parktools link below and then find the picture of the bike and click on the brakes.

    there is a shimano disc brake bit.

    the '60 were the best.

    Oh and i would be suprised if they needed bleeding.
