rusted caliper floating pin
« on: November 26, 2009, 05:41:46 PM »
If anyone has a clue how to best/quickest un-stick a rusted brake caliper floating pin, please call me at : 860-655-3178  I'm working on my pastor's truck and one pin is rusted solid.  I've been PB'ing the heck out of it, trying to rotate it in a vice, beat it w/ a hammer.  Still no movement :(

I have no idea. I've never run across one that bad. I'll be doing brakes on my daughter's Jeep tomorrow while her and my wife are out shopping.
