I was able to finally get the old pin out only after drilling to almost 100% of the brass insert size. But I got it done and once my new pins arrive I will reinstall the front brakes with a lot of high temp grease on the sliders!
As an update, I got the new pins today and installed in the "drilled out" carrier without incident. Brakes working great again.
