Brake Pin
07/08/15 at 18:40:27

Hey,

I am trying to change out the pads as I usually do and this time around it seems that the brake pin(#10 in diagrams) holding the pads in is stuck.

In an attempt to loosen, I am afraid i stripped the head a bit. An Allen wrench can still grip it somewhat but I dont think enough to get it loose. Ive sprayed it with some lubricant and hopefully it helps but does anyone here have any ideas?

Thanks

Make sure your Allen wrench is correct. Bolt head clean, Before you strip it, come back, there's more to try.
