Fitz, in the most recent case I don't know - it came loose pretty quicky. In the first instance, I actually unbolted the caliper from the mount point and it was still stuck on the disc - had to bash it off with a sledge and it took some doing. To me, that would indicate that either there was pressure in the brake fluid, or the pads stuck to the rotor - and the former would seem to be precluded since two other wheels were moving freely.

So assuming it's a floating caliper design, I'd think that taking the rotor off the mount would take the pins out of the picture, wouldn't it?
