Brake caliper pivot pin

(1/3) > >>

Peterplank:
Hello all,
Before I start hitting anything...Could anyone tell me if the caliper pivot just knocks apart or screws out ?

 :)

Johnwebley:
Should slide out,

Use plenty of penetrating oils
Suggest you put the tee piece in a vise

Try to move the caliper arm,


It should have O rings top and bottom on the shaft,

Plenty of gentle persuasion

Don't rush it


Remember to pack with grease on reassembly

Thankyou, about to clean, re grease and fit new o rings 👍
Could have sworn I was only doing the carbs 😆

Reads like Mission creep.😀

What's the issue? Greasing the pivot pin is NOT in the maintenance scedule. If there's no issue, leave it alone. With the front wheel out you can test if it swivels OK. Mine after 46 years is still untouched. When I breath hard towards it, it swivels. Good enough for me. :D
