I have read about how other people have removed a stuck pin holding the bottom of the brakes together but I can find it in the older discussions.

We have been very successful by soaking the pin both inside and out with penetrating oil for awhile and then grind a notch in an old wrecking bar that fits the groove of the pin. Apply steady preassure to the bar in groove of the pin. Give strong solid wacks right on the end of pin. Should come out. Good luck in choices of methods for removal.

Another idea is to drill a hole in flat iron, the size of the pin, and weld the flat iron to the pin to act as a handle. Heat of welding helps to loosen the pin and the handle can be pounded on if necessary. You can grind the handle away to reuse the pin, and reinstall with Never-Sieze.

Yes, this may work, but if the pin is really rusted/stuck I think it would break off the weld. Worth a try if you can weld good enough. It isn't a nice place to be welding or working!

I gave up on saving the pin. Took my cutting torch and in the bottom hole I cut the pin with a wide a gap. Droved the pin in and kept cutting a gap until it dropped out. Takes time but it worked. Vice grips pulled the other half. Good luck.

Grind off about 1/32 inch from the end of the pin, they are case hardened. Carefully center punch the CENTER of the pin, drill and tap for a 3/8"-24 thread. get a grade eight 3/8 24 bolt or threaded rod, place socket over brake pin, washer and use bolt or theaded rod to pull pin out. They can be really stuck that's why the fine thread, it leaves more of the bolt, and you want grade 8 for strength. A socket head cap screw is usually the equivlent of grade 8. Drill and tap the hole deep enough to get well by the neck of the pin, these can break off. Do not break off the tap. It is a tough place to be drilling and tapping, take your time and use a new sharp tap and a lot of tapping fluid. You don't want to break that tap. Always, if you have the pins out drill and tap them before installing them. If they aren't stuck too bad a lot of penetrant and tapping them IN to break them loose can work. Good luck, it can be done.
