Rear Brake Pad Holding Pin Seized - SV650.org

14-12-08, 12:13 PM

Hi,

I am trying to replace the rear brake pads on my SV. One of the two pins holding the pads in place seems to have seized - I've tried WD40, levering it via the cotter pin hole and swearing at it to no avail. Any ideas on how I can get it to budge?

Thanks! Now why did I think changing the pads would be easy ...

It usually is, the best thing to do after every pad change is prep everything for the next time so you will not have the same problems again.

Cos it should be that easy

Stainless pins are a good idea, might make some...

it's not too difficult it is it's only what 6mm bar with a 5mm hex socket on the end with a hole drilled through? Is the socket even needed on the end?

Nope. Just a bar with a hole in it is all you need

Is it 6mm? If so i might be on the scrounge in work tomorrow? I would go check but i've got nothing to check that much accuracy and i'm walking to work tomorrow.
