Hey guys,

Well one of the guide pins in my front caliper is stuck, I have the new pin and boot but for the life of me can't get the old stuck pin out. Is there a machine shop or something that might be able to pull it out for me?

Is there anything I should be trying?

Isn't it fun how nothing ever goes smoothly with cars :-)

Lots of WD 40 and pull like hell with some pliers

I just twisted and pulled at it with a spanner and some vice grips and eventually it came out along with most of the gunk that was sticking it in place.
