HI

Finally getting the B back on the road. im in the process of replacing the rotors and calipers. i have managed to get the cotter/split pin out and i am trying to install the new one but its to freaking long / wide i tried cutting to aprox length but is still doesnt want to go in.

what size is the cotter pin supposed to be? any tricks or tips?


Thanks
Ray
 
I just replaced mine this weekend while working on the hubs. I will go out to the garage tomorrow and measure the old pin for you if someone hasn't answered your question before then. I had a bin full of pins that I went through to find what I needed so I did not measure the old one.

Thanks guys,

turns out the new cotter pins i bought ,with all the brake parts, from Moss were 3/16*2" :mad: went to my local hardware store and they had exactly what i needed

thanks for the info the Cotter pins they were driving me nuts.
