Modern Vespa

Hi Guys,

Firstly, by means of introduction, I live in Dumbarton, Scotland, owned many Vespa scoots though the years (now 55 yrs old ), from small frames through PX / T5, now on my third GTS.
My current scoot is a 2016 GTS300 Super ABS, with the ESS front shock. I've had the scoot since new, now with 5k miles, so I want to replace the front shock. Problem is that single retaining pin fowls on the brake caliper (OEM).

Question: do I need to remove the caliper to get the pin out for shock replacement? Any videos of removal?

Thanks,
Richie

I think I have it now, the caliper needs to come off... all sorted, I'll go ahead and fit the new shock...
