Same way you use any (rim) brake. Squeeze the lever and the pads will pinch the rim, slowing you down.

How can I effectively loosen a brake caliper?

To effectively loosen a brake caliper, you can use a wrench to loosen the bolts that secure it in place. Make sure to support the caliper to prevent damage to the brake line. Once the bolts are loosened, gently wiggle the caliper to remove it from the rotor. Be cautious not to damage the brake line or other components.

How do you get the brake caliper pin out?

To remove the brake caliper pin, first ensure the vehicle is safely lifted and secured on jack stands. Use a suitable socket or wrench to loosen and remove the caliper bolts. Once the bolts are out, gently wiggle the caliper to free it from the brake pads and rotor, and then carefully slide the caliper off the caliper bracket, which should expose the caliper pin. If the pin is stuck, you may need to use penetrating oil and a rubber mallet to tap it out gently.
