QuestionHow can I remove the rotor so I can change the worn out pads? I've removed the outside half of the brake caliper, but those little pins the pads ride on won't unscrew, so I'm trying to remove the rotor (which needs turning)to get the inside pads off.
How come MB brakes have to be so different from ford & gm?
AnswerAnswer:
The pins pop out with a punch from the outside.
If you split the caliper in half, it must be overhauled before it will be safe to use again.
