TDV8 front calliper pin removal

Had a go at replacing the front disc brake pads on my 2011 TDV8 this morning but was thwarted by one of the retaining pins which would not drift out as expected. Anyone have any good tips for removing calliper pins that are stuck and have corroded?

They can be stubborn on the brembo type calipers, we had one completely stuck in on one hilux, a bit of wd40 should help but DO NOT get it on your discs, it will contaminate your new pads! There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Having recently done mine. It's surprising how much you need to whack them to compress the clips that hold it in. As others have said try wiggling a screwdriver to shift the alignment.

Basically you need to break the seal that's formed from from the oxidisation process.

Then a skim of copper grease before they go back in! Next time they will easily come out Thumbs Up

I had this problem when trying to do the 4.4 TDV8 front pads. They are different to the earlier 3.6 tdv8. I ended taking it to the local Indy who had to get the torch on them to heat them enough to drift out.

Thumbs Up well done at getting one of them out!

Thanks for all the replies and helpful suggestions. Looking over other model forums the latest Brembo pins are proving difficult to remove for other car models too.

I've soaked the pins in penetrating fluid and will have another attempt early next week. One of my difficulties was the drift slipping on the pointed head of the pin. I've ordered one of these specialist Brembo drifts from California(picture in my album). Hopefully it will help me shift the stubborn pin. Will let forum members know how it performs.

Thought about just removing the caliper ?

It's only a couple of bolts , but you'll need to soak in WD40 and use a breaker bar to loosen them , but once it's off you can gain easier access to the pins

Like the specialist machined tool tho Thumbs Up GONE 2010 Facelifted 3.6 TDV8 - Stornoway Grey + 22" Overfinch Olympus

Aye, Dr Miggit could do a wheel guide-o-matic and calliper bolt pin remover in one piece of kit!

Just received the caliper pin removal tool from USA. Looks spot on. Will try it out at the weekend and post an update.
