Gents -

Whilst replacing pads on my 95.5 S6 Avant, I find one unworn pad and
one down to the metal pad.  Oh oh.  Frozen guide pin.

My questions are:

1) Can a frozen pin be rehabbed?
2) How does one extract the pin and boot?
3) If not fixable, where is the best place for a rebuilt carrier?
4) Is there a write-up somewhere that covers this?

The Bentley didn't have anything on fixing frozen pins that I could find.

TIA,

Doug
