Help with stuck caliper pin
Guys I have a caliper pin stuck and have no idea how to get it out. The caliper pin is the pin that the caliper bolts up to and has a small rubber boot around it.
Any ideas to remove it would be helpful.

Well I did an internet search, they are called sliders not pins, but any case. It seems to be a common problem amongst many different types of cars. The only reccomendations I was able to find was to try and heat up the bracket that the sliders sit in or to cut them and drill them.
So I have them in the oven right now trying to heat it up. This by the way is on a Vigor but the GS has the same types of sliders.

You may want to consider a thin coating the slider pin with Never-Seez or high temperature caliper grease prior to re-installation. Wipe the excess grease clean you reassemble the caliper.
This is part of the caliper greasing. The shims, pad edges and their caliper contact are additionally lightly lubricated.
