Hi there,
I'm replacing the front wheel bearings and brake pads on a Y60 Safari and discovered that one of the sliding pins had jammed and made the brake pads wear in a wedge shape. On pulling the caliper apart I see that the jammed pin, on the left in the photo, has a step and a rubber sleeve. Is the rubber sleeve correct? If so then it must be swollen as without using brute force I can't get the pin and sleeve back into the hole.
I expected the pin to look like the one on the right, and there is no guarantee that the truck is original, the poor girl looks like she's had a hard life.
Any advice please.
Thanks, James NZ
