When I first got my car, the pins holding the brake pads in place on the front calipers have gotten so hot, they had fused to the front calipers. Despite using a vice and a sledge hammer, they wouldn't come out. So I ordered new calipers, well 8 or so months later, my brakes are squealing so I check the front pads and guess what? The pins have fused themselves to the calipers preventing removal. Is there somethin I'm missing here?

Before people start flaming me, this is a result of typical average driving without ever taking it on the track. I'm 27 years old working a 8-4pm job rather than some crazy kid trying to be Paul Walker.

There's a brake grease you use to lube the pins before installing. Did you do that?

It's probably not heat. Actually it would be more accurate to say it's not just heat. Dissimilar metal corrosion is a bitch. You have to use anti-sieze or a synthetic brake grease to keep the pins free. Or move to So Cal where corrosion problems are nearly nonexistant.
