Or tasty nuts I believe do titanium ones[1]. :)

[1] Although I believe Ti is even worse for galling than Al, doesn't rust though.

;-) I sheared one off trying to get it out and then tried to drill it and missed, end of rear caliper lol, before buying the new ones just see if you can get them out without damaging other things first.

Yer sounds about the same as mine but I thought it would be a good idea to drill it from the front, bad idea now looking back on it, I should have measured it on the back and drilled there as the metal is softer. Having said that I'm getting a fully serviced set from husky for 25 quid and new pins will cost you 8.78 from wemoto ;-)

yer you are right funny you say that tho as thats the same pin that snapped at that size lol

any one priced up the pins at a local dealer??

So are you going to clean up the good pin and reuse it, if so I have another - good (in need of a clean and rub down) pin, the one that didn't brake you can have if you just want a free option
