Replacing the rear pads on our 940 is easy, so I thought I would try our Subaru Legacy. Unfortunately I broke the Caliper Lock Pin off so that I can now freely rotate the caliper up to access the pads, but have no way to lock it back in place. The end of the pin that broke off is flush with the opposite end of the caliper, so I see no hope of getting it out. Since this is beyond my ability to fix, I wonder if it would be safe to lower the caliper back into place and drive about 1/2 mile on a local road to the mechanic. Otherwise I would need to get a tow truck to move it over there. Sorry for the off topic post, but I know you guys can help. Any thoughts?
