Rear caliper
Decided to do rear brake pads today.Have everything apart and bottom slider on the caliper is frozen.Is anything outthere to spray to break it loose besides WD40 ?
Try the c-clamp and lightly tap it with the hammer from the back but no results.

Update:
No luck breaking loose slider,soaked it for hours in AeroKroil and rust inhibitor.
Bought 2 new calipers at Advanced Auto for $200(vs dealer $287 a piece).
Check your rubber boots ,make sure they intact .That 's what caused my problem.

sorry to hear that. had the same issue except the slide broke off at the threads. Anyhow, i had to buy a handheld torch and heated the area the slide was being housed and used a punch and tapped it out little by little. But in the event you run into the same issue with these new calipers, you may be able to try this without having to purchase new calipers. GL
