SupraJames Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Right went to change my rear discs and pads last week, discs came off ok with a little tap from a hammer, but the 2 pins that hold the pads in place through the caliper are seized on both calipers. I soaked them in WD40 over night but they still would not shift. Only thing i can think off is drilling them out and replacing them. Does anyone know if the pins can be bought on their own..? or happen to have some spare knackered UK rear calipers I could buy the pins from..? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTRickeh Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Had this happen to me with a pin, I basically cut the pin in half and grinded the head off it which made it easier to punch out the two bits individually. Anyway, I think Paul's on holiday now isn't he? I got a new pin from him, very cheap, they're only about £1.50, part number 90240-06017 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
