Front Brakes
« on: January 13, 2013, 17:55:03 »
Good afternoon,
I cleaned up my front brakes over the weekend, and checked the pads with a view to changing them, they were fine.
However I have forgotten whether the pad retaining pin , once the cotter pin is removed, is pulled out or screwed out. If screwed what size socket is required?

Regards DWC

It's pulled out, no threads.

It's the rear caliper that has a threaded on pad retainer pin.
