    New on here, looking for some info on how to remove a rear brake pad retaining pin, got one out but the other looks like the head has been enlarged so the allen key will not fit and just spins.

    Riding a Triumph Explorer 1200.

    snipe nose mal grips on the shaft inbetween the pads?
    Or, hammer in a torx bit into the existing hole. That normally works.

    Greetings and welcome to the forum, Dave! I hope you get your pin problems sorted. I think you'll find there are many knowledgable and helpful members here. We'd love to see a photo of your Explorer. Enjoy the forum!

    Welcome, Bienvenue.

    Been through that on my ST 1050. Seized pin.
    I removed the caliper off the bike, and with the help of a seasoned mechanic, we had to drill the guilty, and use extractors.
