Trying to get the pin out of the caliper to replace brake pads. It won't move.

bottom pin went out "no" problem. apart from the clips that were rusted to fuck and I probably have to drill the remains out...

Top pin just won't move. Hitted it with a hammer and a pin, hitted it with a bigger hammer and a pin...
Now pin inside caliper is getting "holed" but not moving into the caliper, it's just rock solid.



I'm out of ideas / bigger hammers.

vroooom ptssssh

try it from the other end or grab it in the middle with a pair of vice grips and try n turn it n free it?

it won't turn free either other end won't move it a bit.
as the pin is smaller the end I hit it. so if you hit it from the other end you just hit against the caliper with the bigger part of the pin, so won't move.
Tried it.

Pin broke in 2 after 2nd vise grip attempt, so I probably can knock it out now completely

problem looks like the thick side that is rock solid, so might try a few knocks from the other side now again. Have to get dremel out to remove the pin now though.
