Brake Caliper Mounting Pins

My drivers side caliper mounting pins are stuck in the casting - I can't turn them, or knock them out.
Any suggestions?

I am assuming you have succesfully removed the nut. Squirt with a penetrating lubricant and tap gently, repeat as time allows. You should be able to spin the pin with a decent size 1/2 inch ratchet. If it spins, you should be able to tap it out with a hammer. I was told these caliper pin kits are getting hard to find from the dealer, so be careful. I broke the end off one by tightening it too much. The dealer said he was lucky to find one.

Off course, yours may be different than those on my 69 F250.

Good Luck.
