4. Installation Guide

Installation of the brake pin should be performed by a qualified technician or an individual with appropriate mechanical knowledge. Improper installation can lead to brake failure and serious injury.

1. Preparation: Ensure the motorcycle is stable and secured. Allow the brake system to cool down. Gather necessary tools, including an 8mm hex wrench.
2. Remove Old Pin: Locate the existing brake pin. Using the appropriate tool, carefully remove the old brake pin. Note the orientation of all components, including brake pads and any springs or clips.
3. Inspect Components: Before installing the new pin, inspect the brake pads for wear and the caliper for any damage or debris. Clean the caliper area if necessary.
4. Install New Pin: Insert the DRC D58-33-072 Stainless Brake Pin through the brake pads and caliper, ensuring all components are correctly aligned. The 8mm hex head should be accessible for future maintenance.
5. Secure Pin: If applicable, reattach any retaining clips or fasteners to secure the new brake pin in place.
6. Test Brakes: Before riding, pump the brake lever several times to ensure proper brake pressure is restored. Perform a static test of the brakes to confirm they are functioning correctly.

Warning: Always consult your vehicle's service manual for specific brake system procedures and torque specifications.

5. Maintenance and Care

Regular inspection and maintenance will prolong the life of your DRC Stainless Brake Pin and ensure optimal brake performance.

• Routine Inspection: Periodically inspect the brake pin for signs of wear, bending, or corrosion. Check for any looseness or play.
• Cleaning: Keep the brake pin and surrounding caliper area clean from dirt, dust, and brake pad residue. Use appropriate brake cleaner if necessary.
• Lubrication: While the stainless steel offers corrosion resistance, a thin layer of high-temperature brake grease on the pin (avoiding contact with brake pad friction material) can aid in smooth brake pad movement and prevent seizing.
• Replacement: If the brake pin shows significant wear, damage, or corrosion, replace it immediately with a new DRC D58-33-072 or equivalent part.
