I’m attempting to replace the rear pads, but I cannot get the pin that hold the pads off. I’ve done brakes on my car numerous times & it seems to be the same process except for that pin. From what from I can see from looking at it and the downloaded service manual it screws out but it does NOT want to move for me.
Is the Pad Plug a metal cap that screws out first? If so that appears to be my first problem, & if so what are the chances that the pin it self will have the same problem in removing it?
Anyone have any tips, tricks, advice or am I doing something completely wrong.

Thanks

 

just went through this myself with the front breaks, but its the same with the back. heres the link to the thread

what ended up working for me was holding a torch up to the cap for ~30sec and then it came right off. best of luck

 

Worked like a charm, thanks
