Having trouble with front brake pad pin hanger caps...
It's been a few years since I did the pads on my '98 Hawk. Went to go change the pads today and for the love of God I can't get those pin hanger caps to budge. I tried a flathead socket with a ratchet along with PB Blaster, no luck, almost rounding off the edge of where the blade goes in. Anybody have any advice on how to get these out? Holding up my whole brake job
I've attached the parts diagram, they are #11

+1 on the hand impact driver. Those things go through a lot of heat cycles in use. Be 100% sure to use anti-seize on those and the pins on re-assembly.
A hand impact driver is cheap enough to go get one for this & always have it. ($15)

Thanks everyone for the advice, I will try some heat and the hand impact driver. You would think Honda would have come up with a better idea for caps for these pins, but I'm not an engineer. I'll have to order some new caps once I get the old ones out unless I can find something that would work as good and easier to remove.

Replace them with stainless steel hex versions (10mm fine thread (M10 x 1)) with copper grease.

Except he is in the US and they are called set screws mostly here.
So M10x10 5mm long
