Brembo pins seized
#1
I have the wonderful thing of coming across this today. I wash gonna have a good day of cleaning my car and changing my brakes and rotors. Well I didn't get passed changing my brakes and rotors cause the damb pins are seized.
I've been pb blaster and wd-40'n them. Beat them with a nail set and a hammer and still nothing. I give up until tomorrow. I feel bad for whoever goes through the same thing. This blows. Can't do anything now.
Yay for the wonderful brembos!

Mine probably look worse than that. I've punched the hell out of them for the last 3-4 hours and soaking them every once in a while in pb blaster and WD. It blows. I'm gonna keep spraying them and try and tackle it again tomorrow morning.

Try soaking them in brake fluid. Helps break down rust fast. Use a 5/16 punch and use a decent size hammer with quick hard swings. If that fails, you could use heat from a torch but then you have to rebuild most likely. Other then heat you can cut them out with a dremel or cutoff wheel. Good luck.

ugh im about to do my pads and rotors on my brembos and this is the reason i'm not keen on doing it myself. i hear this all too often and i don't feel like beating them to death and burning them. the caliper will look like **** afterwards.

if I remember correct the only thing holding the pins in, is where the head on the pin is, the front of the pin where u see all the time is just a follower so u should be only heating up on the back side, but I do suggest anti seaizing the hold pin afterwords, my pins pop out like butter, 500$ later at the dealer

hmmm ... me thinks i will let the dealership do this. mine is a garage queen too with only 41k on it and it only sees later spring, summer and beginning of fall.
so many people claiming this was easy and that mine wouldn't get seized if it wasn't winter driven.
i think some of those people were talking through their asses or got lucky.
