Hi, thank you very much for your video. One question do you have any video doing it for a Shimano Tiagra Caliper?

I have not been able to remove the pivot bolt.😅😅

Hi, I lost the small plastic sleeve on the straight arm of the spring, how can i get it

thank you for the video, also yes the reassembly. what kind of grease did you use? i would think that a mild "loctite" type or antiseize type of coating would be needed. taking it apart some of the screws had blue or white dabs, from stock (first disassembly)

Rubbish video actually because you made me destroy the threads of my side pivot bolt when loosening it
