I took Valy's advice from my first thread and tore into these calipers.
I now completely agree that rebuilding the calipers is vital, and I'm going to do a complete job of it... but: i have used every tool i have, and made one. i STILL can't get this clip out: PMB pic here's mine:  unlike the images i've seen on pmb and others, i don't have the pilot holes, just the edge is showing. anyone have a method to remove this puppy? |

Find a flat screwdriver that fits in the gap between the clips ends. Fit it there and twist it to compress one end in.
Assembly is a PITA. There is a spring blow that hat you're trying to get out so you need one hand to compress the spring, one to keep the c clip in place and one to compress the c clip (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I couldn't find a clip with ears like Eric is using since all I found had too big ears. If you find the right clip, it should be much eastern to refit with only 2 hands. |
