Simple question,

The punch you guys use to change out the brake pads on the 850, is this just a regular punch you buy at an auto parts store? Small size? I just want to make sure I have everything before I start the job...
Thanks for your time...

Here is a link that has the punch on it...

I used a small phillips head screw driver to punch them out.

I haven't looked at it too closely, but that's a great idea,
Thanks for your time

 

I use one of the smallest punches I have but you can use anything that fits, since not much force should be required to punch the pins out.

I have used a small phillips screwdriver also, and once I even used an old 10 penny nail (yes I can be lazy at times)

 

I just use a punch that I use to countersink nails in wood. I have used a nail also. It doesn't take much at all to get them out.

 

I used a blunt ice pick that was laying around in the shop. going to a store and buying a hole punch is a bit much. YOu can probably find something comparable to what everyone has posted at a pawn shop for about $1...

 

Thanks for yalls input, I'll try to improvise...

 

If all else fails, see attached pic. This should drive the pins out no problem. Observe local regulations & contact EPA for approval before usage.

I think JPN is losing it <grin>

 

I certainly am, because I'm still stuck in J@p@n.... Someone get me outta here and get me back to the good old States!!!
