[QUOTE="Michelle, post: 571880, member: 16598"] [b]Help, my brake caliper pins are stuck, what do I do? [/b] [i]Useful threads:[/i] [url]http://www.dirtrider.net/forums3/showthread.php?threadid=16049[/url] (discussion on what aftermarket pins to get) [url]http://www.dirtrider.net/forums3/showthread.php?threadid=16652[/url] (discussion on stuck pins) [url]http://www.dirtrider.net/forums3/showthread.php?threadid=33262[/url] (discussion on head of pins having been stripped) [url]http://www.dirtrider.net/forums3/showthread.php?threadid=52448[/url] (another discussion on stuck pins) Use a drill press and a GOOD vise. Start small and use progressively larger drills. Pick the threads out of the hole with a dental pick. Get some aftermarket pins with hex heads, and ALWAYS use anti-seize when reinstalling. Assuming you have stock pins...go buy some good penetrating lube....soak it for a couple of HOURS not minutes...keep it wet.....try an easy-out first....then if that doesn’t work, you can drill it out...if you're good with a drill. Out of interest: “Woodsrider had the pleasure of watching former 8x Nat'l Enduro Champ Dick Burleson and former ISDE multi-time gold medalist Mark Hyde (how's that for name dropping) remove a stripped allen head brake pin bolt on my old XR back in ‘98. First they drilled the allen bolt just a bit and hammered a T-6 or T-7 torx bit into the hole. Carefully applying heat from a propane torch they were able to remove the stripped bolt in less than five minutes and install a new hex head brake pin bolt.” (it can happen to anyone) For aftermarket brake pins, WER – [url]http://www.werproducts.com/main_frames_page.htm[/url], Moose and Dirt Tech make/supply them, but the quality of Moose appears to be questionable (see first post in useful threads list). Another place to look is Jeff Fredette – [url]www.frpracing.com[/url] [b]When reinstalling your brake pins, remember to use anti-seize on the threads.[/b] [/QUOTE]
