    caliper pin stuck!

    My girls cars brakes stated squeaking so i checked the out outer brake pad and it was fine so i put it off until another time. a week later it started grinding so i took it to the shop because its never been checked out before and i figured it would be a good idea to have a pro take a look at the hole car. Anyways the inner pad was down to the metal and the rotor was being ground into, so i told them i would fix it myself (lack of $$$) So i get it apart and the pin wont go in or out but it does rotate with wrench (that explanes the inner pad only) should i just buy a new one or go to junk yard? is there a trick i could use to get it out?

        Dunno, but I cant go. I have to be at work at 6:30 am, then going straight to cash my check, get my mom, and go down to to buy a bike in either Sausalito, or Redwood City. Problem is theres two bikes, one the better, even lighter, compact frame version of the other ($1k more MSRP), but they're both on sale for the same amount. If Mikes Bikes price matched the place in Redwood City they'd have to take $600 off their sale price, and I can't go with her to Redwood City, as it's too far to get back in time for family stuff. Oi.
