The car sat for the past month and when I started driving it again I noticed the passenger rear brake squeaks and it is very annoying. I have taken a look at the caliper and it looks like the caliper is stuck. I have been doing some research on this website and found it to be a common for the slide pins to freeze up causing the pads to pressed up against the rotor. That looks like exactly what has happened.

My question is, how do I get the slider pins out? And if I do get them out, can I reuse those slider pins and just grease them up or do I need to purchase new ones?

Thanks

don't bother trying to unseize the pins, when they go they are junk. If you do manage to get them out you'll see corrosion all over anyway. The brackets are pretty cheap from what i can remember. The 98 has gone through 3 so far.

yup, what you can do also is get some caliper paint while your in there and give the new brackets a good coat(minimal prep FTW), appearance never hurts!
