Brembo 4 pots - pad removal?

[si_j]

Anyone like to share the procedure for replacing the pads?
I can see that the pads are held in by two pins. Are these driven out to release the pad or is there some other trickery involved?

I don't know these brakes but!

You speak of two pins. these may just slide through the caliper and the pads and be held in place with an 'R' clip. You should see this retainer easily so it is probably not that.

The pins sometimes have a spring steel ring in a groove at the end of the pin. When the pin is driven home into the caliper the ring is forced into the hole and retains the pin. You will not be able to see this ring when installed so I suspect that is what you have. does the pin have a head? if so then it is clear which way you need to punch the pin out. If not then look at the holes in the caliper at each of the pin. The larger hole is where the ring went in so has to come back out that way.

If it is the ring in the groove type then I would expect replacement pins to come with the pads. Your first move then is to get your new pads and see what comes in the box. Heaven forbit there may even be an instruction leaflet in there but don't forget, your a man and men don't read instructions no matter how much sh1t we get into.

Received some post from Brembo today, have lots of instruction pamphlets off them for all sorts of callipers/pads they do.

Just have to figure out now where I can get ATE 325mm rotors from now, if they do actually exist
