more often than not the pins usually corrode into the caliper. and usually the anti-rattle springs desintergrate. the only way out for the pins is to get a correct size drift, and knock them out with a decent hammer. new pins are recomended on reassembly. A pain of a job, but it must be done. hope this helps!!
