should put loctite ( blue kind) on the bolts before you put them back on,,,people have been reporting the bolts are backing out from the vibrations

+Rotties9292 IF it makes you feel better you can, personally I don't.

Grandpa, will be nice to clean the whole thing if you just has it there. If you remove the caliper holder, remove the pins a boots, why not cleaning with metal brush, soap/water or brake cleaner , even the little hole for the pins ? Or you could used Qtips and then put inside those holes AGS SIL-GLYDE brake lubricant, then with a little paint brush add to the boots. A good job can last long time. And to finish, you can spray with WD40 the whole caliper holder and just dry with a clothe in that way the WD40 protect front rust.

+JP JP : Grandpa, I have done 15 times what you did and more; you haven't teach me any thing new, I just tried to help you and others.---- It is  absurd dissembling all that to just do 2 things and  grandpa, sorry if you felt bad, I'm not your enemy .

ThePariss333 commented on 09 Sep 2015

JP JP , right you need as well.

JP JP commented on 09 Sep 2015

+ThePariss333 you are not a mechanic, you just change parts,,,your even ignorant about mechanics enginner.. and Iamnot gonna explain the lot of shit you said in each sentence. In each sentence.usually i dont teach anything to idiots,I left idiots talking alone.

TheBikemaster94 commented on 14 Apr 2015

that was the issue with mine, ended up replacing rotors 3 times and it got pretty expensive.

JP JP commented on 09 Sep 2015

+TheBikemaster94 sorry to hear that you should have visited a good mechanic.You learnt the worst way.

This video needs to get more attention, because the slider pins freezing up are a common reason why the brakes will sometimes,stick locking one side up. Problem is that there are no more new calipers and all of the "new" ones are all remans that are questionable on how they did the pin slide groove. Thanks for the video.

Watchers and readers should be aware that copper grease should NEVER be used the way you may have said in the comments(I know you say not to). Copper grease is ONLY for metal on metal parts. It will eat away at rubber. Only on opposing calipers should you put copper grease on pins, between shims and pads and other metal to metal parts.

G100TSss commented on 03 Sep 2010

I've used a silicone grease - works fine.

Very nice work Nathan !!

Brake Caliper Pin that is Frozen Stuck-Subaru Outback

User Comments

Ozzstar commented on 28 Apr 2013

When the pin begins to have resistance and push back because of trapped air try this trick. Use a pick to gently pull the rubber boot back in one spot so the trapped air can escape while you push the pin fully inward. Take the pick out and the caliper pin should be seated properly. Otherwise look for debris or liquid causing the 'pushback'. Take care

mot611 commented on 01 Nov 2013

Yeah great, but HOW do you get a frozen one out? Mine's really in there! Been soaking 'er over night in PB Blaster. Also, I like to clean all those parts up on my bench grinder (wire wheel) before reassembly, ESPECIALLY the pins, which should be prefectly clean. A set of rubber replacemnent boots is like $10 in EBay. I highly recommend that too.

Ozzstar commented on 02 Aug 2013

Yes, you are correct. There can be an issue with the lower pin which has a rubber ring on the end of it. There is a pin boot repair kit, comes with new outer boots and the 'rubber ring' that attaches at the end of the pin. I may try and do a follow up video,or post more info on this subject. Thanks for the watching and commenting!

Mr2pint commented on 19 Oct 2013

I personally use silicon grease - had a lot more success keeping both contaminants out and maintaining the rubber - it never seizes! unlike all high temp grease I've used over the years . Rubber luv's silicon lol

Ozzstar commented on 01 Nov 2013

Sometimes heat is necessary to help break the rust bond. The Part 2 of this video gives the part number for replacement caliper pin seal and boot. Thanks for watching

99Legacy2.0T commented on 28 Apr 2013

I have then freely moving but 1/4 just pops back out when I put it in. Its air pressure from the rubber endcap on the pin I am unsure how to get it to stay in

kpopRC commented on 15 Jul 2013

this is a good explanation of what's up. HOWEVER.. would have been 1000000x more usefull if you showed us how you actualy removed the pin.

neg TwoSeventyThreeC commented on 02 Aug 2013

I have had issues with the rubber boot on the bottom of the slide pin swelling and not allowing the pin to move. Not good

99Legacy2.0T commented on 28 Apr 2013

It is taking a brake clean bath for the rest of the night and I will re clean and hope it will stay put tomorrow

EvendimataE commented on 09 May 2015

silicone grease ONLY for slide pins...other grease make the rubber swell preventing the pin from sliding

Ozzstar commented on 06 Aug 2013

I responded to your comment and posted a video today regarding the rubber caliper pin bushing. Thanks

UreaSmith commented on 09 Aug 2015

Silicone should be used, I learned the hard way. Petro based grease swells that lock pin bushing.

99Legacy2.0T commented on 27 Apr 2013

This is exactly what I needed to see as I finish off my brake job. thanks so much!

Ozzstar commented on 24 Oct 2013

At the 2:37 mark in the video I demonstrate how the pin is removed.

Ozzstar commented on 28 Apr 2013

Your welcome, glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching

How to stand up slide on a longboard

User Comments

brad commented on 19 Aug 2015

Can I slide on a 44" pintail?

Morgan Cundiff commented on 19 Aug 2015

I wouldn't

Levi Gabrielsen commented on 16 Aug 2015

help someone! ive been sliding for a long time and i still havent mastered the stand up slide. i can only kick out my bach wheel a little. help \

batchee boy commented on 31 Oct 2015

+Levi Gabrielsen as you carve into the slide bend your knees and get real low keeping more weight on your front foot as you start to slide straiten your legs a bit leaning back while turning shoulders and hips as u get to 180 position very quickly bend your knees again so u dont fall .another thing i did was to get pivots down on both feet,so ride fakey pivot 180 keep doing this getting faster and lower then do the same with front foot

Morgan Cundiff commented on 19 Aug 2015

No problem

Levi Gabrielsen commented on 19 Aug 2015

cool that should help, thnx for the tip MiamiSkater2400

Morgan Cundiff commented on 19 Aug 2015

The same thing happened to me for the longest time. What I had to do was laying less on my back foot. And also, lean back and turn hard enough to where you're almost sliding already then barely kick and it should go out. Also, wait till your wheels are warm. Cruise around a bit to warm them up. They slide easier. Pivot in your hips and shoulders as much as possible too.

Preston Oldham commented on 31 Jul 2015

are pintail longboards good for sliding?

ShepFP commented on 22 Sep 2015

+Preston Oldham Symmetric boards are better for all slides and downhill stuff, i have a 48 inch pin tail for cruising and i can kumon slide on it but that's it

Nick DApolito commented on 06 Aug 2015

+Preston Oldham haha no

RenagzyFX commented on 09 Jul 2015

I ride the z-flex street rocket. Is that good for down hill? It does pretty well and is amazing with sliding! Was the board made for downhill and crusing? 

RenagzyFX commented on 03 Aug 2015

Hey , I did more research and I'm actually riding the z-skate. It was made for every day uses from trans port to down hill bombing . However this thing is not made to go down at like 60mph , but can be used for downhill . I like it (sorry for bad grammar)

Druff Skate commented on 01 Aug 2015

+Adrian Amador who? Me or him?

Adrian Amador commented on 30 Jul 2015

The board was made for cruising only, no downhill intended at all

Druff Skate commented on 11 Jul 2015
