Found out recently that I needed new front discs and pads so went to change them myself. Bought some new pins as I know they seize and would more than likely need cutting out. Tried knocking them out first but I knew it was a long shot and it didn't work so out come the grinder. Cut them both on one side and the smaller end of the pin just fell out. The larger end however is still seized in solid and no matter what I try I cannot knock it out. Any help would be appreciated as I really don't want to have to buy a new caliper. Not even looked at the other side yet.
Brembo pins stuck!!!

There are quite a few threads on here explaining the ins and outs of this issue [MENTION=31608]Winnie[/MENTION] . I have not had this issue yet but iirc there are some new design pins by Pinkie ? That cure this issue if you fit his pins and not standard ones. Good luck
As said above, mine were siezed in one caliper. I just soaked them with wd40, Then used a punch and a decent lump hammer. It took a few hard hits but they come out in the end. If you refit standard pins make sure you use copper grease on the ends of the pins. Hope this helps
I'm not sure. Before you have another go tomorrow soak the pins about a hour or so before and again just before you do it, and hopefully you should be fine.

Aluminium expands more than the steel pins, therefore the aluminium hole will become larger than the steel can expand into.
And it will take alot of heat that a blow torch cant give unlike a oxy propane gas axe , so the heat wont go into the pin much but it will be HOT.
as stated in other posts the aluminium will expand really quickly ,
