You need to knock them out of the ends with a punch and then get some mole grips on them in the middles and wiggle them or tap them with a hammer through until you can get a hold of the ends and pull or tap them again.

Sacrifice the pins and cut them in the middle

Then you will only have to knock out the pins one hole at a time

As the Brembo caliper is alloy they can snap off where the pin corrodes into them so a set of pins is cheaper than a pair of calipers

I did exactly this when replacing discs and pads on a customers Megane F1 Alonso Special and the pins were solid in the calipers
