Help/advice needed with rear brake caliper
#12
(11-07-13, 12:16 AM)Blisteredfingerz link Wrote: Managed to get that pad pin out by removing the caliper and hammering a torx bit into the rounded off head of the pin and then using a socket set to turn the bit. It was a great tip by the owner of Bike Bits, Ramsgate. He also sold me a new pin for 2 quid!! What a bargain.


So the long and the short of it is Im gonna clean up the caliper and replace the seals, pads and fluid.


Special thanks to Pete on this post for offering up parts for sale.


The torx bit trick applies to brake disc bolts as well, with an impact driver, it's definitely one to remember for the future! (order new bolts before getting stuck in though, especially the rear one's)  Smile
