1999 C280 Sport Rear brake caliper slide pin stuck
Was in the process of changing the Pads and rotors for both front and rear. Got the fronts done in a couple hours however when I started on the rears I'm at a standstill because I cannot get these slide pins for both rear calipers to even budge. They are properly seized. any suggestions on how to deal with this? Ive done brake jobs on Hondas and Mazda's ive owned and have never had issues. This is my first Mercedes and European car all together and its a great learning experience but I am just stuck with these slide pins.
anyone have an suggestions or ran into this problem before?
Thanks

try the usual..... penetrating sprays, and then perhaps heat, clean the area as well
