so the thing the caliper mounting bolt screws into is supposed to slide in and out, correct?
 Because one of them slides but the other one is stuck so i can't slide the caliper over the new brake pads because this piece won't slide in Help Please This post has been edited by Promasta: Aug 6, 2008 - 11:14 PM |

there are two little pistons/pins on the caliper bracket that go in and out. see below
 i think what he's saying is the main caliper piston on the caliper is ok. it's these little pistons/pins that slide in and out is what seized up. as the pads get thinner, these slide inwards towards the rotor. when you get new pads, they have to slide out but if one or both seized, then you're stuck with using the old pads until you get it fixed or until you get new brackets. -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
