Hi all

Im currently trying to change my front brake pads, but cant get the pin out, it looks like its seized.
Any ideas? Is this common?

Loads of you tube vids to watch. You need to drift it out with a pin punch.
 
Get some emery cloth on the pins to remove the brake dust and rust from the pins, once done you should be able to drive them out with a good parallel drift.

....and a metal ended hammer. A bit of shock treatment does the trick, as I discovered last weekend!
