Front brake slider pin won’t come out- help

I found use if this tread. Thanks! I have a TM3 2019 which had driven already 150k km in Norway with salt in winter time etc. These pins were really stuck! I ended up, after several attempts using WD40 and repeated shocking, to drill using a 6.0mm drill tool. Deep enough to make a channel into the area where the stuck part had need of again WD40 to come loose. Corrosion was clearly already in good progress, but this process made it possible to shock those pins off, finally. I waited a good half an hour after applying the WD40 in the drilled entrances. It would have been very hard or may not possible to have the WD40 enter properly without the drilling. Note: If manually drilling, take care of any bending. You do not want to break the drill tool in there! :D
