They're just effing fiddly to remove. Even when you know which direction to slide them, they are such a tight fit in the groove that you have to have them absolutely spot on in their orientation to get them out. Get lucky, like I did with the first set, and you'd wonder what all the hoo-hah is. Get unlucky, like I did with the other side, and you realise what a massive and unnecessary ££££ they can be. For a moment I seriously considered cutting them off, they were annoying me so much.

I've got to replace most of my back brakes yet so I'm not looking forward to it.
