FramerateUK Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Caterham don't seem to sell replacement pins for the AP caliper set. I have similar brakes (well, Brembos) on my Megane and the pins are quite fragile and bend easily when you're trying to get them out. Do the AP brakes suffer the same problems? Or are they a bit tougher? I also noticed the excellent design choice on the cycle wings which means I need to move the caliper in order to get the pins out too, thanks Caterham ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Pins usually come with pads. At least they did with mine. Can't see they would bend easily if you take them out using an appropriate drift and a small hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myothercarsa2cv Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Have you tried AP direct? I bet it's a standard pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the OEM Renault ones just included the pads. A set of pins and the metal retainer cost £20! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFF Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Hi new pins are available from performance braking Ltd at about £2 each. They are good with there deliveries also. How did you bend them? Regards Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I must be the exception to the rule then, as any time I've bought pads for calipers that have pins, new pins have been in the box with the pads...

They can cease in quite badly and they were quite prone to bending! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
