This happened to 3 out of 4 pins on my rear calipers. What to do is cut out the centre section of the pin so you are left with one bit stuck in either side, then when you hit it with a hammer you will only need half the force to move it [emoji106] also once you get one side of the pin out you can use a long punch and hit the other one from both sides. This worked for all of mine except one, which I had to use a drill on

EDIT: Ahh ignore that just realised your calipers are different to mine.. I really should go to bed, been working all night [emoji1]

The pins are not hardened and can bend or even break. Has this happen on one of mine which had to be carefully drilled out. It was on one of the rear calipers and happened due to lack f maintenance (ie seal split and not replaced when I had the chance)

Toyota say the sleeve and slider are part of the caliper and not available separate :( he then tried me for a new caliper at 180£ lol. Its going to an engineering place after work tomorrow, they have all sorts off splitters and pullers and heat!

Can't be that seized if you managed to rotate the caliper. Just wd40 or plusgas and keep rotating / pulling to work it loose.

Failing that, heat is normally the savior for anything seized but be careful not to damage the caliper seals.

Also SDS drills set to hammer only can work wonders, but beware of collateral damage if it fights too hard.

right, the slider screws into the carrier folks. it was seized solid and took a small jemy bar to get it round that far :rolleyes: so i didnt seize it anymore, as soon as it came free the slider pin just turned inside it :angry: im not worried about the seals as im re-building them

yea my faff calipers are sat looking at me here lol, can get the avensis discs for 56£ all in, wood still need rebuilding and fitting kit and pads.

oh and the small matter of having the car fitted to the wider rims as the current rims wont clear the faff calipers :)
