some pads come with the new pins. I used the original pins without any issues.
just use some wd-40 and the pins should come off easily. you can use a small screw driver to turn the pins to free them up first.

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.
