Rear brake caliper question

[Karl W]

Hello there,

Could someone tell me what size pin punch to use to knock out the two pins on the rear brake calipers on a W124 Estate, saves me buying a full pin punch set.

Cheers

Use a 4 inch nail with the pointy bit hacksawed off- works a treat

I thought about the nail and big hammer !, but just thought I might use the propper tool for a change. I invested in caliper rewind kit a couple years ago after using lumps of wood, and screw drivers to spread the calipers for years. Saved a bomb in knackered screw drivers lol

just leave the old pad in place and lever between disc and pad ,piston retreats
easily,any drift is fine,nail perfect.
