After having the usual fight with my front brake pins during a pad change , I wondered if anyone makes Stainless ones ? Or maybe just use long M6 Allen bolts instead of the pins and R clips ? .
Having trouble getting them out or in? I just pull and twist with some needle nose pliers to get the rods out. And use the needle noses to hold the springs back while pushing the rods back in.
No real trouble getting them out but they always go rusty even with new parts and copper grease, stainless would be better given their location and our salty roads
