Shimano 105 Disc Brake Pad Axles Replacement

RedClip

Can you please recommend a hardened replacement for the Shimano Y8J710000 pad axle, which fits the 105 disc brakes?

Hopefully the image below will show up.

Part number 11.

I've stripped the screwdriver slot on mine, trying to undo it.

Thank you.

Use a split pin. Some Shimano calipers come with split pins already, they're cheap as chips and do exactly the same job.

I used

A couple of mm longer than the 105 pin but makes no difference.

+1 for this.

I stripped the screw as well, it's made of cheese. The above works perfectly & is far better than the screw supplied.
