Re: What have you fixed lately?
Front brake pads on the wifes Renaultsport Megane series2, the uprated Brembo 4 pot calipers are notorious for seized pad pins, and low and behold 3 out of the 4 were solid, Renault's answer was to buy new calipers costing silly money, but an angle grinder, extra long pin punches, a large hammer and a lot of tenacity saw the stubborn buggers come out.

Cleaned and rebuilt with decent pads and the brakes have never been so keen, almost to the detriment of a car behind her today coming home from work .
