Best place for an Impact Screwdriver?
 

Usual story with the rear caliper pad retaining pin / cover. Tried penetrating spray oil, some freezing spray, and a poor attempt at heat using a camping gas burner.

So where is the best place for a manual impact driver. Halfords haven't got any, homebase doesn't stock them, screfix doesn't seem to have them.

Will pop to B&Q tomorrow, but where else??

(I did learn how to bleed brakes today - after removing the caliper, getting the piston stuck and needing to pump it back out)

Ahhh and anyone with a brand new bike - get the pad retaining pin out ASAP and copperslip it like a mo-fo.

Will probably save some stress at a later date!

Oh no, I cant resist the temptation..........tool shops! I fear a purchase coming on.

I'm amazed that these things are so hard to find!

Machine mart is closed today, and they don't have them at Wickes or B&Q!

Screwfix?

Another way to get them out is with a nail punch, just replace the pin if it ends up knackered.

I got my from the Halfords Professional (try the big stores) range, so if it breaks I just take it straight back and they swap it no questions. I've had it for about 10 years with no problems.
