Need some info please.

Riding up to Myrtle Beach on Thursday to visit Laurie's brother and his wife and take a look at Myrtle Beach Bike Week. Inspected the rear brake and all ok. Went to check the front brakes and the hanger pin was froze (right caliper). Got an extractor and got that one out. Put in new pads and went over to the left side. That pin was froze so bad that the extractor broke (on an angle of course). I've tried heating and tapping it but no luck. Nothing to grab on to. I'm thinking I may have to get a new caliper, though I'm not sure if I'll get in time by Thursday.
Any ideas or sources of getting a quick ship on a left caliper or how to get that extractor out?
Bob

Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you’re in it, but the longer you stay in, the more wrinkled you get.

I posted this in the Tech thread also.
Prez offered to overnight one. Jeff put a suggestion up and I'm going to try that tomorrow.
I just may wait till I get back and deal with it then if a test ride tomorrow comes up good. New pads on right and the left still has a little bit of meat on them. Just want to make sure that won't be an issue.
