Mech disc brakes

[royzart]

Hi...cant seem to remove right hand pad on my front disc brake. left one drops out ok. any ideas folks... thank you

I'm not sure what kind of disc brake you have, but on the bike that I have with a front disc brake, you can unscrew the right side of the caliper with a hex wrench and pull the right pad out that way due to the pad being too big to fit through the slot.

Which Make/Model of caliper are you using, royz?

Sometimes held in with a magnet, but most brake mfg's have their own websites with setting up info and diagrams.

If I remember right mine is a promax (entry-level), so what I did might work for you.
