Caliper slider stuck, seized (can't remove) - 2002 Tahoe
Got it as hot as I could w/ propane torch, still wouldn't budge. Eventually I broke the head of the slider off and now have almost nothing to grab onto with the vice grips. I think the best advice I've heard is drill a hole in the opposite side and try to tap it out with a punch. Also...- thedillybar

Wow, you of little faith. The good news is I got it free. Vise grips as tight as possible, beat on vise grips with hammer, add some PB blaster. Repeat. 10-15 times. I ended up getting it to spin first, then after spinning it around a few times I spun and pushed at the same time and it came...- thedillybar

Thanks for the welcome. The bolt came out rather easily (w/ a box end wrench and a hammer). But the piece the bolt threads into is supposed to move so the caliper can float. And it doesn't budge. Which is why the inside pad is worn all the way to the indicator and the outside pad is fine.- thedillybar

On the rear caliper, the top slider is free (moves easily by hand) but the bottom slider is seized. I've removed the rubber boot, lubricated with generous amounts of WD-40 and PB blaster, and tapped on it w/ a screwdriver & hammer...no success. Any tricks? I stole this pic from another...- thedillybar
