Floating pin seized in carrier. How to un seize it

[Pesty]

I think they are called float pins.

Anyway one of them it seized rock solid. Will not budge at all. It's currently sat in a vice where I've been trying to move it back and forth with no joy at all

I've soaked it in plus gas and given up for the day. A it's raining and b I'm pissed off. Another easy job turned into a fk up


Thanks in advance

Hi Steve thanks.

I was going to get the blow torch on it but I can't get the rubber cover released from the carrier side.

I'll try again tomorrow

Crap isnt it.

Well I tried for two days straight leaving it over night soaking in plus gas ( has that stuff ever worked for anybody?)

Had a large breaker bar and the only thing that was going to break was the vice off the top off the bench.

Ordered a second hand caliper from ebay I asked if the float pine were included and free

He said yes they were. He meant they were free , not free

Soooo anyway today I got those pins out cleaned them up and got them greased up nice and put them on the car. Took over a week and cost an extra 35 quid
