Rear slide pin stuck in caliper

[spederman]

Any ideas on how to get out a stuck slide pin out of the rear bracket? My brackets are powder coated, so i need to be kinda careful in not scratching them. The pin will turn in circles, but its stuck pushed in.

just replace it. to damn hard to free up the pin. I have had to replace 2 over the years. Tried to fix both.... nope.

I had to replace the caliper bracket.

the wierd part is that i just got them calipers back from powder coating and they havent even been used yet. The calipers were completely torn down before, so i dont get why the pin would be stuck from just re-assembly.

I stick a box end wrench on them and hit the wrench with a hammer. Once out I have a wire brush on a drill that I reem the hole, and take the pin to the bench grinder. Then grease it when putting back together.

Finally got it out. There was a ton of grease in the hole, so the only thing i can see that could have possibly been causing it to get stuck was that there is a little rubber boot/cover on the end of the slide pin that goes into the bracket. That boot had a small chunk that was starting to tear off. I'm assuming that's what was catching it and not allowing the pin to move freely. I guess i'll get some new slide pins and clean out the hole.
