weirdoku Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 The TPA wheel is plastic and the TPA pin is metal, if you have threaded the tpa wheel surely you can just pull it put? Tried holding the TPA pin with pliers (or in a vice) then pull the lever?You don't need to throw away the lever just cos the TPA wheel has threaded, just get a new one once you've got it out, I recommend a metal TPA if you can. They are much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Get a pair of pliers and just undo the TPA, when the thread strips they kind of jam up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 you shouldn't need a metal tpa really. Only use the tpa just take up pad wear, If you need to use the tpa loads, then move the calipers in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdoku Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Chorillas tpa does the same thing, unless you want it black or silver to coordinate your other parts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
