I am overhauling the bike now its too cold for me to enjoy it so its tip top for next yr, I expect i will come crying for information pretty regular now !

I have the rear wheel removed and caliper off, how do you remove the rear pads retaining pin? i have unscrewed the cap, does the pin just slide out, with force.....? before i go at it with a hammer......can someone give me a pointer, its all covered in cr4p so i cant see whats what properly.

Also any advice for overhauling it (and the fronts which i will do in future too) would be great. Thanks in advance

Should be an allen bolt.

^^^^^^

Doh !! easy once i found that out, the allen bolt was packed with grease or some gunk so I couldnt see it !!
