Replace worn, rusty or rounded brake pad retaining hardware with the Gorilla Brakes Shimano MTB 2-Piston Brake Pad Retaining Pin Kit.

This stainless steel retaining pin kit is designed for selected Shimano MTB 2-piston disc brake calipers, including popular Deore, SLX, XT, XTR, road, cyclocross and flat-mount caliper models that use this Shimano retaining pin style.

These retaining pins are ideal when fitting new Shimano-compatible brake pads to calipers such as BR-M615, BR-M666, BR-M675, BR-M785, BR-M985 / M987 / M988, BR-M6000 / M7000 / M7100, BR-M8000 / M8100, BR-M9000 / M9020, BR-R315 / R317 / R515 / R517, BR-R785 / RS785 / S700 and BR-CX75 / CX77.

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.
