Replace worn, rusty or rounded brake pad retaining hardware with the Gorilla Brakes Shimano 4-Piston MTB / E-Bike Brake Pad Retaining Pin Kit.
This stainless steel retaining pin kit is designed for selected Shimano 4-piston MTB, enduro, downhill and e-bike disc brake calipers that use D-Type, H-Type or N-Type brake pads.
These retaining pins are ideal when fitting new Shimano-compatible brake pads to calipers such as XTR BR-M9120 / BR-M9220, XT BR-M8120 / BR-M8220, SLX BR-M7120, Deore BR-M6120, BR-MT520 / BR-MT420, Saint BR-M820, ZEE BR-M640, Metrea BR-U8020 and CUES BR-U8020.
Brake pad retaining pins are small parts, but they matter. A rusty, rounded, bent or seized retaining pin can make brake pad changes difficult and may stop the pads sitting correctly inside the caliper. Replacing the retaining hardware when fitting new pads gives your Shimano brake caliper a cleaner, safer and more professional refresh.
