Siders77 Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Which bit is the Retaining Pin? Is that the bit that holds the pads in? :"> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hardman Posted July 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 I havent a clue, it bolts through the middle of the two caliper halves, prob to hold them together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 (edited) Is it the mono mini or the 2 piece caliper? If its the 2 piece then take the caliper off the bike & disconnect the banjo fitting. Remove the retaining pin clip and the 2 allen screws holding the halves togetherthen the whole lot should slide apart and you can grip the shaft of the retaining pin in a vice and turnt he caliper body half to release it. Reassemble as normal and put a new retaining pin in and get some decent allen keys that are sharp and wont round you screws off (Y) If its the mini mono I would try to get some needle nose pliers on the clip end of the retaining pin and see if you can twist it out. A large stud extractor into the allen head might work aswell. Other than that phone hope and they should be able to sort you out. Hope that helps :turned: edit: The retaining screw on the mini is the one just above the h in hope on the caliper in this picture On the mini the retaining pin is the same (I think), and is located between the 2 allen screws that hold the caliper halves together). On the mini mono there arent the 2 allen screws cos the caliper is a single piece unit, but the retaining screw does exactly the same.

colly Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 take it is the 2piece mini if you have it stuck, becasue the mono mini pin isnt on threads, so if it is drill it out and put a pin in with a split pin in the end like i did with my old mini.

forteh Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Or just take the caliper to pieces as I said and use a vice, then you dont risk killing your expensive caliper :turned: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked a treat. The heads had seized and cracked. You get new pins with new pads anyway (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
