Why cant i get the rear caliper slider bolts out. You can slide it right off, but cant take out the acctuall shafts. Is there something im missing here? I swear they are fused on for life. I need to get them off to take the callipers apart.

 

I had the sliders seize once. I think the original grease had hardened due to high temps at the track. The sliders on one side acted like they were seized but I managed to unscrew them without breaking them. They just unscrew but it took some time as even the smooth parts of the slider were seized due to the baked crub in there. Once I got them out I cleaned up the sliders and their bores with liberal amounts of carb cleaner and got all sort of nastiness out of there. Reaasembled them with high temp wheel bearing grease and they have been fine ever since.

 

One side of mine was almost seized. I could move it with a hammer. The other moved semi-freely. They're both going to be repaired in the near future, but I needed the rear brakes working today.
