Brake Pad retaining pins

[Glade]

I'm going to go into battle again tomorrow with my rear caliper; because the pad retaining pin has seized solid.

Penetrating spray, freeze spray and a poor attempt at heat using a camping gas burner have all failed. Swearing has failed. And taking it out on the Mrs doesn't seem to have made any difference.

So if anyone has a new bike i'd reccomend getting the pins out and copperslipping them up like a mofo, to save the hastle at a later date.

I'm going to be waiting outside Machine mart 1st thing tomorrow for an impact driver and their biggest hammer.
