i want to look at the pads in my k18's to see how much wear there is and if i need to change them, there is the screw that goes through both pads and a spacer/spring i can undo that screw but i can get it out because of this small o ring thing at the end, how do i remove this with out breaking anything?

thanks

    do parktools or Snap_on make some very expensive, bespoke pokey things? I'm almost certain they do :lol:

    I make them.

    out of an old Spoke.

    so it is a Spokey Pokey thing.

    genuine stainless steel and a bargain at £10 each plus shipping.
