I need to know if anyone else has ran into this problem and how you took care of it. I'm trying to remove the front brake pads on an 87 4runner 22re but I cannot get the pins holding the pads out of the calipers. I've tried beating them out of there. Anyone have any suggestions????

 

PB Blaster, Heat, and Beat them out. I used a screw driver that fit into the hole . and smashed the hell outta it.

Get new pins and springs.

 

Mine were so rusted I had to take them off the truck and lay them down on the floor and use a good punch and really BFH. Put never seize on the replacements.
