   Morning.
   
   Had a go at changing discs and pads on the back, the o/s rear retaining pad is stuck in pretty bad with rust. I didn't wanna hammer away at it in case of damage. Any easy way to prize it out? I'm assuming people will suggest some form of wd40/other rust repelling gear...but wondering if there's anything in particular that works very well or some other method?
   
   Cheers.

   the bars on mine were quite warped, so i ordered new bars and clips, and used a small chisel and hammer and just tapped them out, used a wire brush with wd40 and generally brushed over them beforehand.

   You referring to the slider on the bottom of the pads?
   I used a hammer and decent chizzle, also reused them. Done this plenty of times and never had any problems re-using them.

   Thanks Steve,
   
   I am, yeah. Did you do this chisel business with the caliper taken off or did you leave it on?

   I done mines a few days ago (rear).
   
   The bar was very rusty and stuck so soaked it in WD40 and chizzled (used a screw driver and hammer) to knock it out.
   
   I replaced it them with new sliders from a brake fitting kit, mines was a mintex kit that costs £7.5 for a local autoparts - I couldn't really find them much cheaper including P+P which is expensive for a few clips!
   
   Hope this helps!
