Thank you Briansmobile. It has also worked for me, of course, I subscribed. A WORD OF ADVICE for people like myself. Remember that pressurized air is powerful, now you might have a bb gun like workpiece. The guide pin that we are trying to unstuck is now a projectile. After heating the part and trying to move back and forth the pin it could as in my case just shoot out. As in the video, I have heated the part until I started to see the grease bubbling. Then proceded to move the pin and as I was prepared for.. just in case. It shoots out with greater force. So aim somewhere were if it would not hurt or break some and also where the force would be absorbed without a rebound. Remember it could also shoot out by itself while being heated.

I have used an old brass bore brush for a rifle/pistol mounted in a drill to clean these holes out and it works great. Less chance of scratching the bores which can invite more rust and it makes for a smoother bore in the caliper. The 9mm brush usually works great since it is a little bigger than most caliper bores and results in a really nice finish.

Auto repair at the improv! Nice utilization of tools and thinking outside the box to get the job done. This was packed with pearls of wisdom and tricks with a short rift on the art of sound with the Qtips in the slide. Joking aside stuck slides are a problem in the northeast. On that note the worst place to own a vehicle in the US is between Erie, PA and Albany, NY. Driving your car in brine for 6 months. Great video!

Great video to this day. Had a seized slide pin on a 2013 F-150 rear caliper. Wouldn't budge a millimeter. Took that torch and just held it right where that air pocket is inside the bracket, using a pair of vice grips to slowly twist it back and forth. After maybe 10 minutes, the vice grips had a bit more spin going and suddenly - POP! The slide pin almost shot out like a bullet! I decided to just buy new pins and boots, but I did use that trick with the chainsaw file, taking off the small end with an angle grinder - did the trick in filing the bore out for the new pin to slide through easily. Greased the whole thing and re-installed. Thank you so much for the tips and tricks for the DIYer!!!

Great vid Brian. I made a similar tool once. I took a 2 inch piece of hose, and jammed my rasp in. I cut a piece of sandpaper to size and super glued it to the hose. When it wore out, or if I wanted a smoother surface, I changed the sandpaper. I also squared off the drill end to keep it from slipping.

I enjoyed that you tried to help that guy. I used the concept that grit abrasives being applied by a tool the same diameter would provide a better and more uniform result. In other words, I would use the same bolt and a drill. The rust would break off and act like a grinding abrasive. Once that loosens to a point that I can put some abrasive material in the hole, I do. Sort of like stones used to polish other stones.

Thanks. I just had one super seized for the first time and this trick worked great. Watch the cannon effect, boys, mine shot across the garage when I tapped it with a screw driver and hammer and didn't miss the far tire by much. I really mean tapped, it would turn but wouldn't pull out, but it shot out when tapped and a big cloud of smoke came out. The shaft was pretty ugly but it cleaned up fine and it worked nice when put back together. Done many, never had one that badly seized before...

Great review of a common problem, and a very good idea for a new tool, ha ha. Seriously, sliders need to be examined every time, and those who do just a pad slap make this problem worse for others later. With so much rust, changing all the boots seems like a good plan, to prevent more rust in the future. Water got in there somehow....

Chain saw files are way too small to do an effective/rapid job. Either slot a piece of bar to take a strip of 400 emery cloth (not paper) and put in a drill - OR use a proper round file closer in diameter to the pin.

Good video. I am dealing with a similar situation where one of my caliper pins is stuck. I heated it and tried Turing it and it didn’t budge. Looking at your video, you cook it for a good 1 1/2 or close to 2 min. Will try that and see whether it breaks loose. Another q, is there a real difference between the driver side and passenger side brake caliper brackets? What are your thoughts (if I am unable to break loose the caliper pin, I could buy a used caliper bracket, while trying to buy a used one if both sides are identical, it’s easier to find). Thanks
