Ok, first time I've done this job, never having dealt with cartridges before.
Just started to change the pads on my Thorn Sherpa. They're Shimano XT V brakes. First pin came out easy and pad slid out with no difficulty. Second one, having got pin out pad wouldn't slide out. Had to remove it from bike (defeating the supposed benefit of not having to re-align shoe) and eventually got pad out with pliers. Now, new pad wont go in properly so pin won't go right through to hole in other side. Seems too tight and pad won't quite slide all the way home. Other one in fine, new pin fitted with no problem.
Any advice please?
Cheers
Geoff
