hrcmonty Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Has anybody managed to purchase or make just the little shim the fits inside the rear brake pedal? It's the little shim that sits between the actual pedal and the bolt. For some reason gas gas apparently don't sell this sepratly. So when it wears and the pedal starts to move all over the joint, you need to buy a new pedal and bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

postmanpat Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Get yourself to a bearing stockist with the pedal and pin,ask for either a "du" type bush or an oilite type,if i remember right, a DU should be a good choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docheckle Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Use a refreshing beverage can of your choice and a sharp pair of scissors, get a piece of tube the same size as the bolt and sharpen the end. Use it as a punch to cut the inside hole, then cut the outer diameter with the scissors. You can make as many as you like to take up the slack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
