Brembo Pins?!

[jam1991]

Taking my calipers off for a full paint and seal refurb.

However the pins on the fronts, are completely seized in. Soaked them in WD40 but they just will not budge not even slightly!!

How for the life of me are you supposed to get them out? . .

Probably going to have to cut them and then buy new for £60 a pair, £120 for 4 pins surely cant be right?!

If they are that bad an you have to cut them out you can get the pins on eBay for £15 for 4 pins and the plates

I have some used ones somewhere... Think 6 or 8 and two plates if you want them.
