I have a 99 m2 and I am rebuilding my front brake caliper. The mounting pin in the front caliper is seized, I have split the caliper so I can hold the pin in my vice but I still cant get it to loosen.
Has anyone got any ideas about what to do?
Thanks Craig.

If you have all the seals out of it I would gently heat up the aluminum with a propane torch to expand it slightly and spray lube in it and work it out (I Hope)

Dissimilar metals are a pain
