Anybody find anything like this to replace the hammer-in-style pin on the calipers that hold the retaining clip in place (and thus the pads)?







Am about to buy one of these to remove the pin but I was wondering if I could just replace the pins instead (so you don't need this tool)?

I get that hammering out the pins is faster than unscrewing...but I like the idea of it being screwed in (no way for the pin to slip out).

I also don't know if the caliper has to be internally threaded...which would totally negate this idea...but it looks like the GTR 6-pot calipers don't have internal threads...based on this thread

Def need threads. I believe the RB punch is slightly a different size. Personally I have a set of punches/pins for this purpose. Also, order some extra pins from FCP euro for their lifetime warranty in case a few gets stubborn and have to beat it out.

Yeah...would rather not worry about slipping off and dinging the caliper if I can avoid it (with threaded screw-style pins). Guess I don't really have that option.

Thanks

I don't know if any of these would work

Interesting...I got the RacingBrake tool so I'm good to go and was able to swap pads
