[Brakes] Rear Caliper guide pins b9
#1
Had a seized one to free off this morning.
It put up a good fight but I eventually won.
I worked it with a ratchet turning backwards and forwards until it turned then put a blunt chisel under its head and pushed as I turned and it slowly came out.

Has anyone got a better way?
It is on my to do list.
But not right at the top

No but make sure and the housing are spotless then lather it in copper grease when refitting

Thanks Pete that's reassuring.
All the other pins were nice and free.
I polished the bad  pin with a rotary wire bush and greased it to rake out the gummed up hole.
Cleaned it off again and repeated until I fell asleep.
Finally reassembled with some ceramic brake grease
It should suffice until the pads /disk need changing and then I'll put in new calipers and pins as well in all at once.
It is on my to do list.
But not right at the top
