URGENT: Need help changing brakes (W209 CLK55)
I've changed alot of brakes on different cars but as usual doing anything myself on this car seems to be a PITA.
Does anyone know how to remove the two pins that hold the pads (see pic below)? I managed to reef the spring clip out thinking the pins would slide out ...seems like i was wrong.
Any immediate help would be greatly appreciated!

anyone have any tips on removing a siezed rotor? I've been beating the tar out of it with a hammer for half an hour and is it not coming out...and yes i removed the little screw that holds it in place

it need some penetrating oil and keep hitting it with a deadblow hammer on the face NOT the braking surface. the rust beind the rotor is keeping it locked in place

Like 320 Dreamer said, but I use either a 3 of 5 pound sledge on the face. In something less than 5 minutes, there will be lots of rust on the floor, followed by the rotor. If you're using a rubber mallet or a regular claw hammer, I don't believe you'll be able to remove it.
