2. Loosen the nut on the guide rod pivot pin until it is flush with the edge of the thread (see illustration 4.9 Chapter 8). If necessary, hold the pin from turning with a 4 mm rod wrench. Press the hinge pin out of the seat using a puller. The two levers of the puller should be parallel to each other at maximum force. If it is not possible to install the puller, remove the brake caliper and secure it to the side, preventing tension on the brake hose.
