Brembo pins siezed

So the pins that go through the brembo calipers are seized. Tried everything from pb blaster to heat to beating the hell out of it. The one bent slightly so I'm just ordering new ones. My question is the easiest way to cut them out and then pound them out? Or does anyone have any experience with this?

Best thing to do is cut them in half and bust the loose side out and then drill the stuck side out unless you can get them on a big vise grip and push them out.
