Angry Freeing rusted brake caliper pins
Can anyone help, please.
My 2002 Tundra has only 21,000 on the clock, but already the brakes were juddering. I found the problem to be that winter salt had badly corroded the brake caliper parts. All I have to do is remove the brake pads and clean the rust away! However, the two steel pins that hold the brake pads in the calipers are firmly rusted into the calipers. I have tried hammering. I have tried WD40, waiting and hammering. Nothing seems to shift these darn pins.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

giles..
