Arrgggg!!! Damn Murphy!!!

Well I wasn't doing a difficult job just changing my rotors.

First glitch... DS rear caliper wouldn't turn in. I wrenched and wrenched for about a half hour and it didn't move.

Dang piston head came off the screw. Never had that one happen. A little pressure and away she went.

Then after getting 3 tires back on the car the 4th caliper bracket was seized. Can't get it to work. Lucky I had a spare, but damn it was all going so easy.

Any secrets on how to get one of the pistons on the bracket to move?

I like having spare parts laying around just in case....

If you are talking about the slide pins I just put them in a vice take the BFH and hit them a few times once you get them out clean them up and lube them up

ditto. If they are stuck in there you may need some heat. Make sure to remove all build up on them, file a little if needed. Each year they should be checked a lubricated.

Its pretty safe to say that nothing is ever easy. Nothing.
