Rear Brake

Hi guys, i stripped the rear brake on Sat for a clean, and to my surprise the pins came out without too much problems , question is, where can i get some stainless pins to replace them with??

also, how hard is it to bleed the rear brakes, any tips?

cheers
Marshall

bleeding is not hard - did mine in about 30misn to 1hr with the old fashioned way

can't help about the pins

Out of interest which mityvac have you got? Also, if it's the standard (rather than silverline) one, is the included 1/4" (internal) diameter tubing okay or did you have to use a more narrow one?

get yourself this:

and you don't need to buy a "Mitty Vac"-thing

Bleeding the brakes are not a problem. Just remember that the rear caliper has two bleed nipples. Do the outside first, then the inside, then the outside again.

question is do you use the syringe to suck the fluid through the line, or push it through??

Suck, don't blow.
