Hello. I was changing my front pads and trying to grease the bolts that sits in the caliper bracket you know the part that hold the rotor. I could rotate it but cannot be pulled out. I want to replace those bolts is the mechanic able to pull it out or i have to replace the bracket. Thanks

Can you take a picture and post? Am trying to understand what you needed.

Do you mean the caliper slide pins? These typically seize in the rears (ask me how I know..I just replaced all the rubber boots and pins on the rear of my 400h.. every six months I was pulling the rears off and finding a pin rusty and on the verge is seizing). If yours is stuck usually some heat applied will help...I mean heat from a torch hot not blowdryer hot.

Also, have a look here and see if it helps..

Are you using two wrenches to remove the bolt? Or is the bolt out and the pin is stuck?

shikbas

Yes Those are the ones. So i understood that it can be removed and exchanged

Yes, the link I posted is a guide on replacing the slide pins and the rubber boots. Is your bolt out, but the pin stuck, or is the bolt stuck in the pin? If the bolt is stuck on the pin, try to use two wrenches like shown in the pictures.
