Pin punch for Brembo's??
Hi all,
I am planning on sorting out a new set of discs and pads on the Impreza but I am having trouble finding a suitable pin punch. I have read that you can get away with a long nail but would prefer to use the correct tool. Any ideas where I can pick one up and the size I would need? Cheers, Ian |
If it's just for the retaining pins then I didn't use one. A gentle few taps from the inside then twist and pull from the other end with a set of pliers. You might need a bit of wd40 if they're that stuck.
|
To be honest I haven't tried it yet, just didn't want to start the job and stop half way through because I didn't have the tools, been there before!
|
Think i've got a spare you can have, which I used when changing my RBs brakes!
|
They come out easily. If needed a small srewedriver can be used as a punch on the end to start them moving, but doesn't require much of a hammer at all. Once moving I'm usually always able to get them out with fingers.

As above Ian
If the pin is a little tight due to corrosion use a pliers on the back end of the pin then twist and pull...Twist and pull :) |
Cheers for the advice gents and cheers Iggy for the offer, much appreciated.
I may just have a stab at it and see how it goes as I don't need to remove the calliper to try the pins, if they are a pain I may well take you up on the offer of the punch. Thanks again;) |
When you take them apart you can push the large pad spring ends in towards the pads/hub which will allow the pins to move much easier.
Good luck! |

If you want the punch, just give me a shout! |
Cheers fella
