Hi Folks, back again !
I went about putting in new pads. Just drift out pins.
It's a 1994 - rear shock blocks pins.
Do I have to take off the shock.
If I open the bottom nut will it move enought ot get at pins?
All suggestions welcome please! ! !

Yes, release the bottom nut, support the FD, pull shock towards you. Then swivel.
OR
Undo caliper bolts, slide caliper to left, tap out pin, slide caliper to right, get the other.
Have done it both ways, once at the side of the river Mosel, whilst on holiday in Germany.
IIRC the wheel rim gets in the way, but it is possible to do the change with the wheel on.

Thanks Tim.
Can't open r.h. bolt as it's behind shock as well.
I might be able to put a spanner on a hex 'peg'
from a set, hadn't tried too hard on that until I
got 'expert' advice. Very Happy
