Yellow Stuff pad stuck

Recommended Posts

As the title really, has anyone experienced a yellow stuff pad (or any other pad for that matter) being so stuck in the caliper that it won't lift out. 

 

The pads are at the end of their life so I tried to replace them today but both inner pads at the front seem stuck solid in the caliper and won't lift out even with mild brute force with a pair of mole grips. Calipers indie and out have been cleaned with brake cleaner as much as possible.

 

If anyone has experienced this, any tips on getting them out without removing the calipers?

 

Cheers

If it won't knock out then just remove the caliper and do it on the bench.

 

Sometimes they can be a bit tight and mole grips won't work, however, a bit of gentle persuasion should do the trick providing you keep the pad square.
