1982 GTV-6: stuck pin in rear caliper



back to the GTV-6 -- i have the RR rotor unbolted, and am trying to remove
the pads. the pin to the rear came right out, but the pin towards the
front of the caliper is well and truly stuck.

anyone have any good suggestions on how to free this sucker up?

i'm hosing it with CRC 5-56 everytime i'm under there, and will continue
doing so every time i crawl under to work on the left side. i've taken a
chisel and hammer and tried to knock it loose by tapping on the L shaped
end of it to try and get it rotate; it doesn't seem in any hurry to move.

i'm not too concerned about damaging the pin as long as i get it out w/o
damaging the caliper; i have a set of new replacement pins and clips ready
to go in.

thanks,
  richard
