Can I use this on a KTM 65 or 85 model?
No, this specific part (18-7043) is engineered for the 50cc platform and may not fit the larger caliper assemblies of other models.
Are these pins made of stainless steel?

What tools are needed for installation?

Troubleshooting
Brake pads rattle or make noise during braking
Check the retaining pin for wear or loose fitment and replace if the pin has significant grooving.
Pin is difficult to insert into the caliper
Ensure the brake pads are perfectly aligned with the pin holes in the caliper body; do not force the pin as this can damage the caliper threads or the pin itself.
