caliper slider stuck

[itsbigj05]

i was trying to replace my rear pads a rotors today, but one of the sliders on the caliper carrier is stuck. i pulled back the boot, sprayed it down, and tried to beat it loose with a hammer and had no luck. i also tried searching around for some answers, but i came up short.

does anyone have any ideas on how to get the slider out, or do i need to replace the entire carrier?


thanks

you can try removing the pads and then bolting the caliper back up and then use the caliper as leverage to push it back/out


or remove the boot and get a pair or vice grips between the carrier and the head of the slide pin and beat on that


or if those dont work u can drill a hole in the front side of the carrier and use a screw driver/hammer to back it out from the front

thanks for the help!

i work at a golf course mowing grass so i took the carrier in today to have one of the mechanics get it loose. he even polished it and greased it up for me!
