I have about 80K miles on my Z and I'm coming up on needing new brake pads. It's is only my second time changing pads so I'm still relatively new at the process. When I was removing the spring to check the pad life, the caliper pins were particularly hard to get out. I did get them out but the videos online made it look a lot easier. Is this normal for our cars? Do most people clean them and re-grease the pins or am I better off replacing them all together? I see Z1 sells them for about $15 a piece.
