Brake Caliper Pin Rusted Stuck

Brake Caliper Pin Rusted Stuck - Heat n Beat Fix

If the brake caliper pins don't slide properly then abnormal brake pad wear can happen. This will lead to changing the pads out early costing more time and money. In this video I show how to easily salvage the existing pin if it is frozen stuck. This usually occurs due to moisture getting in behind the boot and causing the pin to rust. Lack of lubrication and rust eventually causes the pin to stick or become "frozen". When the pin doesnt slide freely that is not a good thing. Thanks for checking out the video!

*Warning* Be extremely careful when heating the brake caliper bracket to release a stuck brake caliper pin. Excessive heat can boil the grease and/or condensation behind the pin and cause it to shoot out like a bullet. Always take precautions and do not overheat. Stay safe.

Hello Ozz (Glen), I was watching your video about stuck slider pins on brake calipers. I notice you mentioned about heating the caliper up with a propane torch. I also do that if I need to. I wanted to mention a word of caution when performing that type of procedure. That is, that I heated one up one time. I must have heated it too much, because I went to put a wrench on the pin to move the pin, as soon as I tried to turn the pin, and without even turning the pin just added a slight pressure to it the pin shot out of the caliper like a bullet. If I had of been in front of the caliper I'm positive it would have penetrated my abdomen for sure and would have been in trouble. Just to mention also in my garage I had an electric stove across from where I was doing this, the stove was approx 10 feet from where the caliper was when the pin shot out it broke the stove oven glass in a million pieces. So please be careful and be safe when doing this kind of work. I believe it shot out because grease or water that was in the cylinder of the pin must have turned to steam and built up excessive pressure on the pin. Never stand in front of the pins, always to the side.

What works for me is just rotating the caliper pin back and forth and pulling on it gently, I rocked it back and forth about maybe 50 times, sprayed W-D 40 in the space between the boot and the pin, and eventually it gave way and slid out. I hammered lightly as well. It's amazing how these caliper pins get stuck all the time.

I have a 2015 Mazda CX5. Had a rear caliper freeze up a few years ago and had it replaced. I made sure the front pins were lubbed with SIL-Glyde. Went to change the front pads this summer and one of the pins wouldn't move. I had it mounted in the car and took an open end wrench on the pin and hit the wrench with a 4 lb hammer quite a few times and it came out. The wrench gripped both sides of the pin so there was no issue with bending and it didn't dig up the pin.

my first time doing brakes ever on my car, I ran into this problem. so I took a crash course through KZfaq on how to replace a caliper and how to push the air out and bleed the caliper. it is possible I could have dislodged the pin? maybe. but I do not have a table vise so I just went with a straight up replacement. now I know to check those rubber boots and re-grease the pins every 6 months or so.

Can you help me please? I have problem with my guiding pins. I clean the wells with WD40 and Q-tips. Then I use the SilGlyde lubricant, I put very little, very thin layer. And yet, next time I check, guide pins are seized. I noticed that the rubber dust boots on the top make airtight seal. Yes, the guide pins have 3 flat channels, to allow air to escape, but it does not. When I install them, I push all the way in, and they bounce back. One of the guide pins have a cut out near the bottom where the anti-vibration rubber rings should be. If I put these rubber bends, I can not push the guide pins at all. They get stuck at the base of the dust boots. Any idea?

Thanks for the tips! I know I'm a little late to the show, but what causes the slider pin with the rubber end to create a pocket of air under the pin? I've tried both light lube and heavy... Haven't tried silicone based yet.

Use silicone grease. That's trapped air. Not.much you can do

Do you recommend air hammer if you know the condition of the pins are really bad?

An air hammer would most likely damage the pin.

Thanks for explanation When My brake pads cannot retract (a little bit) , I press down break padel and then brake pads are free, what is problem? Is concern with cliper guide pin? air in brake line? Master cylinder?
