Heat the ****ers. Only way to get them out without a grinder.

You didn't try to do it in-situ?

After reading RRDT's woes I bought new guide pins anyway. So I just sliced straight through where the pin touches the caliper.

Heat from drilling did as much as the actual drilling. To keep going while it was red hot was extremely beneficial
I still have the tan from that one

Pins actually came out fairly easily. If it hadn't been for that one bolt it would have been a doddle.

Same here 
one pin.
Where’s the pics of your rusted up hubs en? Mine were terrible but few coats of atf and thorough pecking with an nammer and chisel they came up good. Make sure your CV boots are on tidy while you are there

Hubs weren't too bad, wire brush cleaned off what was there. You saw the state of the calipers though. When the new ones arrive I'll put the carriers in the vice and hit them with the wire brush in the drill.Same here

I haven't even looked at the rears. One disaster at a time, tyvm.

^^^ Enerys were shockingly bad but they come up great. I didn’t paint mine and they still look decent. I am regretting not putting new pads in front while I was there, it braked fine even before the overhaul weirdly?? But it niggles at the back of my mind

It will be fine until the BECM decides enough is enough.
SpaceX doing the delivery then ? (location, space just in case anybody wonders what I`m on about)

Funny the way some sockets fit perfectly and some don’t.

I think I would give that a little squirt of Plusgas every few days in the hope that when you finally get around to opening it, some may have got through. Think we're looking at a blowtorch too.
Either that or get a quote and let it be someone else's problem!
