Mikevv Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Hi guys, I decided to tackle my brake change on my own as I didn't see it being difficult - I was wrong. I've been stuck on the one rear brake for over an hour now. The first K clip came out no problem, barely pulled it and it was out, the other one however was difficult, after some persuasion it was still not moving much. Wedged a screw driver in there and pulled, same as the previous one, untill PING. it snapped in half. CRAP! I tried to pull the remaining bits out, and that went okay, until I looked closer. The little hole where it sits is blocked with a shard of the K clip still in it. Any ideas how to get it out? I've tried using the other one to try and push it, but it's not budging. Do I have to go from the bottom up, as in pushing it the same direction it would be pulled, or can it go both ways? surely it wouldn't matter as there is a hole the entire way through the pin!! PLEASE HELP :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Soak it in wd40 and find something the same size to drive it out, either way is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modo Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 That's pretty bad luck there, should only take about 10 minutes. Did mine recently I must have been lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
