Hey ya'll I'm doing the brakes on my '03 ST 4wd, the top slider on the drivers side caliper is seized up. Can I take the slider out on the rears like the fronts and regrease or do I have to buy new caliper????

:banghead:

Ok, my neighbor/ landlord/ bodyman, mechanic helped me out. He banged on it 'til it came out. So I'm gonna sand it down and grease it back up. :banana:

AS long as there is no damage and you can clean it up nice good, slap it back togetehr wit hsome new grease and call it good!

Shouldn't need a new caliper. Pin is stuck in the bracket, correct? I had the same problem up front. Mechanic got it free on one side. I tried the other side and snapped the pin off. Had to buy a new bracket and pin set. :fire:

Yea, my neighbor showed me and got it free. I sanded it back to smooth and greased it up good, did all of the other sliders on the truck as well. Stops better now then it ever has!!!!!:haveabeer::banana:
