Hi All,

 

I have a set of Mini Spares 4 pot callipers that have been off the car for some time. I have decided to refurb them, which should be difficult, except... I can not get the split pins out.

 

It would appear they have rusted solid into the holes and no amount of effort is moving them.

 

Anybody got any suggestions?

 

Also, one of the bleed nipples has snapped - should this drill out easily?

 

Thanks

 

Paul

plusgas and waggle them a lot.

 

left hard drill in the bleed nipple hole and it will come out. plusgas as well before.

yep, plusgas, not wd40 as its not a penatrating fluid.

 

deisel can work well at a push too.
