Brake Help

Need some help or a replacement part.



Doesn't any know any idea how you would take this rusty Pin out of this? I'm having a really tough time taking it out b/c its rusted inside out. I sprayed some PB blast on it for awhile now and it won't budge. I don't want to break it either.

Can anyone give some advice/ideas on how to take it apart?


thanks

find a container large enough that will allow you to submerge it in diesel. set it in the diesel for a day or so. if that doesn't break it free you'll probably have to buy a new part.

yup diesel fuel is a super penetrating fluid, a heating it up can also work but if you get it too hot you'll ruin the rubber grease thingy.

I took it to the shop and the shop was able to do it for me for free. Gave the guy a $5 tip for helping me.
