'06 GMC Savana rear caliper pins
Replaced the Driver front hub/bearing yesterday on my wife's '06 GMC conversion van. The rear pads and rotors need replacing & I can't get the bolt/pins to back out of the calipers. The wear indicators on the pads are dragging the rotors & the rotor surface looks like it's pitted or poorly cast. The pins have a 14mm bolt head on the back of the caliper and they spin freely but won't back out. Tried to drive a small screwdriver blade under the head... no luck. I cussed it good and bathed 'em in PB Blaster & will try again tomorrow. The holes in the caliper are blind so I can't drive the pins out. I can't get this thing on the lift, Hi-top is too tall, so I'm rolling around on the ground in front of the shop. To old n fat for this crap, but too cheap to pay somebody.
