Help removing brake pad pin

[Recluse420]

Silly question, do I use a phillips head screw driver to remove the brake pad pin on the rear brake? I can't seem to get it to move I'm afraid to apply to much pressure, the boneman site is not the same as mine and I can only find stuff on the FZ6R, help guys!

there should be a small cover, which you need a large flat head impact or screwdriver to undo, under that is the pin which needs an allen/hex key

I have a question on topic, the rod that holds the brake pads in. The one that screw with a allen key on the rear brake and the front ones are held on with 2 pins,
HOW DO I STOP THEM FROM RUSTING?
i realise the pads have to slide slightly on them
But mine rust up so quick i have to clean them quite often
Shall i buy new ones? Maybe the protective coat has worm off?

Once the zinc plating it gone, they likely rust up. Replacement is the option. Not sure what else you could do.

It's probably quite easy to do some DIY zinc electroplating. Not sure how much it would cost though

You can paint them with heat resistant spray paint thin layers and you would apply some heat in oven. Or zinc plating is an option.

Brake SPECIFIC GREASE, just a very light coating, should take care of it..

That is, with a good pin to start with, thats smooth and not rough.
