Default Re: Replacing brake pads and shoes

Just to add to the stuck pins mentioned. I am currently in the process of replacing my front pads. I was lucky enough to get a pin out after mushrooming the head and and then grinding it back down. The pins were all badly rusted, likely due to the fact that salt is added to the roads here in North Western Ontario during the winter months. I was also not so lucky with another pin that I am going to have to cut out as it bent badly after attempting to remove it with a metal punch. I actually bent my punch as well if you can believe that. I am using a little never seize on the new pins in hopes of never having to go threw this procedure again.
