#1: Caliper slider pin stiff when bolt is tight Author: liam1988, Location: CornwallPosted: Thu Jun 04, 2015 2:19 pm ---- Hey guys, I thought I would change my caliper because it failed on a binded brake, When changing the caliper and putting the new caliper on I noticed that the old caliper slider pins were stiff as hell when the bolts into them are fully tight, but if I slightly loosen them they go back and forth as they should. The pins are all lubed up fine and not corroded. Anyone else have this problem? I thought maybe they could be slightly bent?
