Hello fellow GS300'ers.

I read many old threads about a TSB (?) about stuck rear calipers, but my car has been out of waranty so long i doubt the dealer will do anything. I needed to replace my. worn out rear break pads and the driver side went without a hitch. However, on the rear passenger side, the caliper is stuck and won't allow me to move it over for the new pads (the bottom pin). I tried to google and also read the threads here but didn't see (yet) a solution. Mine is not stuck completely. At least i'm able to open it down to remove the pads but cannot move it horizontally.

It's driving me a little nuts not being to get the last pad in. The first picture hows of the old break pads. The 2nd picture shows the picture of a new pad and and old pad. I just need to be able to move it over (toward the outside) a little bit. Will a WD40 or some lube helps?

Appreciate any help. Thanks!
