I've been trying to change the discs and pads on my 2005 wrx, but have struggled to remove the pins on one calliper. Any tips on removing them at all please?

I've got a new set to replace them.

Are they the ones with R=Clips in? Have you removed those?

Otherwise, soak in decent penetrating oil and knock out with a decent parallel punch.

I had taken the R-clip out yes, but the pins were a bugger to get out, they had corroded on one end. A set of parallel punches did the job though, thanks.

New pins, clean out all holes with emery cloth etc, smear copper slip in the hole and on the pin for future.

I used a parallel punch in the end to get them out, but one of the pins is a looser fit then the others now, I guess the hole must have opened up whn the old pin got knocked out. Any recommendations on what to do with that? The R-clip is retaining both pins in place at the moment.
