    replacing rear pads on RD04

    Does anybody know of a secret way to remove the pin which holds the rear brake pads in place on a AT? I know you're supposed to just turn it out with a screwdriver, but this one is in TIGHT and I don't want to damage the slot.

    Brake disc touching caliper

    Yes, the spacer is there, with the shoulder next to the left fork. Axle is tight.  I think it's natural to get a couple of millimeters of play along the axle if you nudge the right side fork a bit when the axle locking block is loose.
