Caliper stuck

I would use a high temp thick grease on the runners.  

Perhaps this (first image), I've not tried this brand myself though.

With regards to the carrier bolts, I've never had trouble getting mine off. But not sure copper slip would last long in there, unless it was also high temp stuff (second image)



 

Do NOT use mineral oil based lubricant on the carrier sliders

It causes the rubber boots to expand and jam the sliders.

Use a correct brake slider grease

Thank you.

All I’ve got is copper slip (unsure of temp rating) and the maxima waterproof grease chap.

My caliper carrier bolts were very tight on one side, I had to use a 6 sided socket and a breaker bar to get it moving. If it was me I would put a thin layer of copper slip on the carrier bolts, the ones that were stuck and secure the caliper carrier to the hub. Copper grease is over 1,000C.

If you have a torque wrench put the new bolts back in to the correct torque and they should come out again.

I also put a thin layer of copper slip on the back of the pads, someone told me years ago that it stops the pads from rattling and I have done it ever since, as well it will stop the pad from rusting to the piston.

I am not sure what to use on the caliper slider bolts, mine weren't stuck, so just put them back in as they were.

Thanks guys.

I got some red grease for the caliper sliders.

Off to the garage now.

Took me an hour but I got the other off with heat and smushing on a 16mm socket. 


then I was heavy handed with excitement and sheared the gosh darn ABS bolt. 

I’ll continue with the rest of the job but can someone advise how I fix it/what part I need when I get to that point?

gotta love cars and ambitious but under skilled mechanics.
