To remove the brake caliper pin, first ensure the vehicle is safely lifted and secured on jack stands. Use a suitable socket or wrench to loosen and remove the caliper bolts. Once the bolts are out, gently wiggle the caliper to free it from the brake pads and rotor, and then carefully slide the caliper off the caliper bracket, which should expose the caliper pin. If the pin is stuck, you may need to use penetrating oil and a rubber mallet to tap it out gently.
Collapse caliper(screw driver to pry caliper apart), remove brake pin plug, remove brake pin, remove pads, reverse for install
1. Remove the brake hose to caliper bolt from the brake caliper. 2. Remove the brake hose from the brake caliper. 3. Remove and discard the 2 copper brake hose gaskets. These gaskets may be stuck to the brake caliper and/or the brake hose end. 4. Cap or plug the opening in the brake caliper and the brake hose to prevent fluid loss and contamination. 5. Remove the 2 brake caliper pin bolts. Remove the park brake cable from the caliper. 6. Remove the brake caliper from the brake caliper bracket.
It is a special bolt/pin that allows the disc brake caliper to float. There is usually two per caliper.
Disc Brake Parts consist of the following: Inner Shim B Inner Shim A Wear Indicator Outer Pad Shim Caliper Bracket Pad Retainers Caliper Bracket Pin Boots Piston Piston Boot Brake Pads Piston Seal Pin A Pin B Bushing Brake Hose Sealing Washers Bleed Screw Caliper Body
Check the bottom of the caliper on your MIA and see if you can locate the pin. Take of the clip and knock the pin out, then the caliper should be able to be moved to remove the pads.
You can used a 3/8 or 1/4 ratchet extension to knock out the pin that hold caliper in place. the pin should be about 3 or 4 in. long. Make sure you lube the pin before you reinstall it, i believe it also served as a sliding pin for the caliper.
yes they are different

Probably because you did not align the disk brake pads with the pin that comes out in the pressure plate that you have to screw in in order to replace your disk brake pads, if you llok at the back of the pad there is a long indentation where the pin of the caliper should be aligned in order for the pad to sit flat with the caliper, if you missed this pin your brake pad are definitely working crooked and probably never stop touching the disk brake.

A left front brake caliper may remain engaged due to several factors, including a malfunctioning brake caliper piston, a stuck or seized caliper slide pin, or issues with the brake line, such as a blockage or a collapsing hose. Additionally, a faulty master cylinder can cause uneven pressure distribution, keeping the caliper engaged. Insufficient lubrication or corrosion on the caliper components may also contribute to this problem. Regular maintenance and inspection are essential to prevent such issues.
