Talk about a b#+&# to get out

Did my front brakes for the first time. 70,000 miles because i was tired of hearing the clunkety clunk clunk clunk everytime I went from reverse to drive. Replaced rotors too while I was in there. An hour job took me 3 because I couldn't get the pins free, even after spraying them down with liquid wrench lastnite. But anyways, all good now and thank god no clunking going on. Good thing its not very often you have to do this.

Talk about rusted and worn.

 

caliper pins drive me nuts. I spent 4 hours getting the front one out of my dirt bike. Previous owner never changed the pads and that sucker was stuck. Not looking forward to working on my brakes when the time comes.

 

Yea it wasn't pretty. I beat the crap out of them getting them out. Even when they were on the last hole, still couldn't pull them out. Lubed the crap out of the new ones.

 

I vowed to remove and clean mine periodically after replacing the factory ones after 192,000 km. made good use of my punches for that job!
