Campy Brake Pads

[ThasFACE]

So, I'm trying to get some brake pads switched out of my 07 chorus calipers and I am having the hardest time getting them to slide out. More specifically, I can't really get the things to budge. I'm looking at the campy directions and it looks like they should just slide out, but I am having no such luck.

Is there a super secret trick to this?

That said, the Swissstop GHP pads (Much better IMO) slide in real easy compared to the stock ones.

a quick install tip (kinda)

I remove the holders from the calipers
place a rag in between the jaws on my vice (wilton :D )
and let it squeeze the two parts into perfect harmony.

DEWD! You have a wilton? Hate you. So you simply squeeze the pad str. down into the holder eh? Interesting, that's similar to what I do but with a few more swear words. I use hairspray + a plastic hammer. Good reason to get a WILTON...you dawg ;)

I highly recommend replacing with Koolstop Salamon Pads.

The Koolstops don't mar the rims.

I am not a big fan of the Campy Pads.
