Well i got myself an 85 f250 converted to a dually for free... I can seem to get the brake calipers off I removed the bolt that holds the pins in.. Now do I bang both pieces out together? Or is there another way? I beat it with a 4lb mini sledge and have no luck..the smaller piece moved the larger wont budge one bit.. I need to get this fixed asap any ideas?

 

Yes, just hit it with a BFH and a brass drift of punch.

There is a T shaped piece of metal and a spring clip. Knock them both out at the same time.

 

Ill give it another shot thats basically what i was doing only the smaller piece moves either way about 1" maybe more but the bigger piece the bolt goes through wont move...

 

Heres some pics of my setup..

 

Bigger hammer and hit the back so it comes out towards you

 

Methinks you need to pound out the spring/retainer clip thinger; pound from the other side
(obviously) and you might need to use more force than you'd expect.

 

That's a negative on that Chris.

The spring clip is shaped like this ] and straddles the T shaped pin. They both come out at the same time. There is no other way.

 

Yeah, man, you're prolly right, Stan! I just remember pounding on things that
are in that area, I obviously don't remember things entirely correctly.

Oh, well, I tried....

 

I'm just sayin'.......
