stuck sliders
#2
Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't the slider bolt to the caliper and slider inself fit inside the caliper bracket?
I had 2 stuck pins last time I did brakes and fought with removing them from the brackets for 2+hours, then I got on line and found you could buy replacement brackets from O'reileys for $10 a piece. That's a heck of a lot cheaper than 2 hours of my time.
link to O'reileys brake bracket ....ok so they want $16 for the back and $20 for the front but it is still cheap compared to the pain of trying to remove a seriously stuck pin.

You can also find the brackets from eBay for under $23 including shipping!

Last night I had to heat the driver side bracket a little, in order to get the upper pin out.
I doubt little heating will do harm, as long as you don't overdo it!

I just changed my front caliper because it stuck about 5 miles from home my brakes were smoking when I pulled in the drive way. I let it cool for about 45 mins took it off and when I took it to the parts store it was still warm about 2 hours later. Not a thing wrong with the pads or rotor believe it or not
