Hi All,

I've changed front disc brakes before without any issue.

I recently pull the front disc brakes on a 2005 Town & Country Minivan and
found the outside pad glued to the caliper. It wasn't just "stuck" there
from all the road grime it looked like it was glued. I gave it a few hits
with the hammer and even tried using the C clamp to pull the brake pad off
but it wouldn't budge. The inside pad came right out just like every other
car I've ever worked on.

I decided I better do some research before continuing and put everything
back together.

Anyone ever seen this? Can I just use a utility knife to cut the pad free?
Do I need to re-apply glue before installing the new pad?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Mike
