Replacing Campy Record brake pads..help!

I've done this a couple of times, by using pliers to grab the old pad material on the edge and
working it out.

I put the pad holder in the vice (with a rag to protect finish) and wacked the pads out with screw
driver and hammer.

Thin screw driver under the block at the open end, pry up and out. Simple green on the new ones, to
help them slid in.

Don't try to hit the pad like that, it'll just "bounce" the tool. One easy way when the pads are
dead is to clamp the pad in a vise and push firmly and slowly on the shoe. You can also screw an
extra old 6mm nut on the post and grab it with channel-locks. Lubricating it a little water or
alcohol can help it slide out.
