brake pad bolt

[Hawg]

what size socket do you use to remove the brake pad pins from the caliper? Is it a 6mm 12 point? Thanks

[Flyinfool]

None.

Those pins are not threaded in.

On the inside of the caliper there are 2 wire clips to hold the pins in. The head is just so you can turn the pin to get at the clip. You should be able to turn the pin with a pair of needle nose pliers. If you turn the pins a full turn with a wrench you will mangle the clips making them very hard to get out and then you will need new ones. Don't ask how I know all this........

Thanks for the info. I will check that out

i wont ask how you know but i do assume you know some one who made that judgement call before while on the subject is there anything else he should look at?? i mean while he is there things to check rotar displacement blinker fluid muffler bearings you know the usual stuff:stirthepot::rotf:

[Hawg]

I have already checked all that other good stuff. had to replace one muffler bearing it was squeeky....The piston return springs looked in good shape though

But never underestimate the importance of regular service to the blinker fluid.
