View Full Version : Brake pins.....

Back in October I put the SV to sleep under a quilt in the garage. Got some time off this week, so I'll be waking it up.
I read a lot about the front brake pins, how its essential to check, wiggle, remove, grease, replace etc etc. A search on the forum shows 45 odd threads on the subject, but no pictures.
Can someone take a pic of the caliper for myself and any other thickies, with an arrow pointing to 'THESE PINS HERE' - or will it be painfully obvious when I get round to taking a look?

Fantastic, thanks for that.
Took them apart this afternoon, they came apart easily, but not after I had mullered one of the split pin thingies first.

Another question - what is the torque setting for reattaching the calipers to the forks with the two 14mm head bolts either side?

Tightish but not overtight ;) (that's if you can't find the torque setting)
