broken brake

[elang]

i have an old razor A and i broke my brake and cant get the pin out. ive tryed bashing it out but it doesnt budge it just dents and chips.
any tips on gettin it out cus i really dont want to buy a scooter

use a small screwdriver.
or, take a drill bit thats a little bigger than the brake pin, only drill past the dropout, then knock it out, then put a real bolt, not a pin, in it

yes, i prety much memorized the quote...
ther is a star shape end of the pin, so you have to tap the opposite side out. the threads called like "brake pin help" ...
but if you drill, than you dont need to worry about what side it is...
