Caliper slide pins, dumb question
I am doing a brake job on my 2002 f350 and I have removed the caliper on both front wheels. The bottom caliper slide pins come right out but the top ones on each side won't budge. Are the top pins supposed to come out?

yes, when you get them out with a little force. clean them up real good before you grease them and put um back. i used brake parts cleaner .

Make sure the bore is clean also, and the boots aren't torn. Use high temp grease like Permatex high temperature ceramic brake parts grease. I get it at NAPA, I've used 2500* and 3000*, either works.
