Rear caliper pin rounded!!!

[Disorderlypunk]

first step - stop watching delboy
if you can get a thin maul grip in there you might be able to twist it after giving it some heat on the caliper
make sure you remove the bugger from your lines and bike first and only apply heat to around the pin area
i found this out by having knackered pistons and finding it cheaper to just replace the calipers but the pads on my old ones were better but pins were truely stuck in aswell


as for splitting the calipers in half - not a bad plan but remember to get the o-ring replaced with the right type as found in link below

getting the right o ring can sometimes be tricky because manufacturers dont tend to sell that particular oring as they dont like us mere mortals breaking open calipers (but sometimes it is needed- yep my chops calipers are open right now lol)
