Disc Brake Problem

I'm trying to put new pads on my F350. I can't get the stupid pin out that holds the caliper and bracket on. I banged on it forever and can't get the stupid thing to come out. Does anyone have any advice? I'm stuck. I know I could take the rotor off with the bracket and get the thing off but dont want to do that yet. I can post a pic if ya dont know what I'm talking about. Thanks

on my 79 i had to use a hammer and a chisel to knock the pin out ( i am assuming you meant the front axle) then the caliper and pads come off fairly easy

Finally got it fixed last night. Had to take the rotors off to get the brakes apart. What a pain that was.
