I can knot get the pin out to remove rear brake pads
Marvin's video link is good for reference for where the retaining bolt is.
"Before" you start make sure you take a good look at the new pads. *NOTE* There is an inside pad and an outside pad. Inside being nearest the wheel.
The retaining bolt rubs against a spring clip that help stop the pads 'squealing' when you brake. You might have to 'Gently' wriggle the bolt out with small needle nose pliers. (Take a good look at the clip before you pull the bolt out, ready for when you need to put it back in place).
*Be careful* not to damage the disc when levering the pistons back into the calliper a damaged disc will damage the new brake pads.
Check there are back plates on the new pads and slide them into position. The old back plates just clip off and can be re-used IF they are in good condition.
Next check all the bolt holes and brake pad holes line up. Wiggle each pad in and out again if they don't.
Reposition the spring clip and refit the retaining bolt. Fit it by hand first to avoid damaging the threads on the bolt. Tighten it but DON'T force it too tight! It might strip the threads off the bolt.
**WARNING** Before moving the bike pump the rear brake pedal at least 10 times, until you feel it go stiff and hard to press. This resets the piston inside the caliper to its working position.
another safety check after pumping the pedal is to put the bike into neutral, press the rear brake hard and try to force the bike to roll forward, then *Gently* release the brake as you do this to feel for it letting go.
Next, suit up, start her up and go for a gentle test ride!

Without contaminating everything, try some penetrating oil sprayed carefully on the pins and let it set overnight and then some light tapping with a small hammer to break any rust bond.

put the back of car on jack stands and secure the front tires so it does not roll and then remove the bolts off the back of the caliper there is normally two one at top and one at bottom and spray it with some kind of oil for rust and make sure you have the right size socket before you try to loosen them and once caliper is off and the old pads removed take one of the old pads and squeeze the piston on the caliper back in by using a "C" clamp and also remove some of the brake fluid from the master cylinder before you do this put the new ones back on and check the brake fluid and make sure it is full and then pump the brakes to make sure you have a good pedal also put some "No Squeak" brake stop on the back of the pads so they don't squeak they will have that where you buy the pads from

I didn't have a "cube tool", used a pair of channel locks. Worked great. Thanks.

remove the caliper bolt, swivel the caliper up and slide off the rod. To push the caliper piston in to accommodate the new pads, you must get the tool to TWIST the piston in while slightly pressing the piston. Check with your local Murrays, Auto Zone for the tool loaner program. Gm W-Body rear caliper tool. Good luck
