Good video, and nice solution for stuck pin removal. I had to cut those half and with long punch i was able to hit stuck piece out of caliber. In my opinion, dont use copper paste with aluminium calibers. It will corrode aluminium for bad condition. Use instead white ceramic installation paste which can take over 600celsius heat and is safe for aluminium.
Awesome video! Went the same way with the front yesterday was a pig of a job getting the pins free thank god I had replacements, just the rear to do now :l
Are the rear pins the same size as the front ?I have discs and pads all round but can only find pins labeled for the front are they universal for the front and back ?
I generally like your videos but technics like this are why they seize. A butcher like you with a vice grip scores the pins and then they rust solid. Just get a small bolt and a lump hammer not a Fucking nail hammer and 2 good taps pops them out. Another thing to note you didn’t torque the caliper bolts. (105nm)

Thanks for the comment and thanks for the tip!

Great job mucker. Now for rear pads. Answered some questions. To go that far to remove disks is worth renewing them at the same time. Cheers
Please make more vids, very nice. Greetings from Germany
Is it possible to remove stuck pins with vice grips (mawl grips) with the rotor still on?
I need to do new front and rear discs and pads and a rear callipers. Just watched this. Now I'm scared to do it on my drive. Lol.
I spread it over an evening and a morning lol. If your brake pads have been replaced in the past year or so you should be fine removing the pins
rowanlewisuk it's been about 2 years since doing my pads. I just know they will be a bugger to get out.
Well done!
You are the man
Never put WD40 on the piston brakes!!! It destroy the rubber O ring. Put silicon grease.
Quick questions, when you tightened the 2 bolts that hold the Caliper in place, what torque setting did you go with?
Thanks in advance
Probably a bit late, but maybe it'll help someone else out... 170Nm.

The rears don't use pins as far as i am aware
No loctite on caliper bolts? 🤔
