Having recently switched to disks, I've been tinkering (as usual), and practiced changing pads,
etc, but one question on the removal of the retaining pins for the pads. What's the best way of
doing it? !
I mean - I can do it, but my process is
1. Put a screwdriver something through the loop end of the pin, and using the caliper for leverage
(the bit I don't like), pull it through.
2. Replace pads
3. Straighten the pin with a pliers or something, and thread back through
4. Using a flat screwdriver - push in between the 2 pin ends, and then up, causing the longer of the
two ends to bell out a bit...
But it seems a bit heavy handed - and I'm wondering if I'm missing something.
Cheers then
