A stuck brake caliper means the caliper isn’t sliding right. Or it’s not sliding at all. And as you drive, you may hear squeaking when you brake, or just feel like something isn’t right.
There are several possible causes. Something could be wrong with the brake line or piston. But often the problem is a stuck caliper pin. One or both of the little rails the caliper slides along - the caliper guide pins - get sluggish or seized. And that means your caliper won’t slide, and the outside brake pad won’t fully squeeze your rotor.
That’s “caliper pin stuck.”
One sign that you’ve got a stuck or seized caliper is that your brake pads aren’t wearing evenly. The outer pad isn’t squeezing hard against the rotor, so it’s not wearing out as fast as the inside pad.
To lubricate slide pins, two types of brake grease are proven to work - silicone and PAG (Polyalkylene Glycol). That’s according to Gary Weber of Dow Corning. (For details, check out his presentation Smart NVH Solutions for Next Generation Brake Design and look at the 11th slide.)
Silicone and PAG are synthetic greases - two of the six types of synthetic grease. What Weber is saying, and a number of mechanics agree, is that some brake greases don’t work well on pins. That includes petroleum-based greases and several types of synthetic grease.
One issue is how grease impacts rubber seals. A caliper slide pin has a rubber boot that seals out dirt, and often has a rubber bushing for movement and support. If you’re not using silicone or PAG, these rubber parts can swell.

Take caliper mount off,cut bolt off drill out the rest or get a hotter torch

[@jessadiah9483]

Legitimately the last part of this video from 6.15 on saved me. That pulled the pin right out thank you so much I've been stuck for like 2 days because of if

[@Minhimizer]

This custom tool got it out for me! Thanks!

[@philtowle4683]

Could you not place a suitable sized socket over and wind bolt in through square hole?

[@thesetruths1404]

If you have silicone tape you can make and/or repair the burned boot with about 6" of it.

[@jessadiah9483]

Everyone skip to 6.15 and use this method it will work took 10 minutes using his method

[@Toolaholic7]

If the caliper slide doesn't come out,go get a good reman loaded brake caliper.Have done this before

[@angelahighwolf]

Same thing here!! It SUCKS.

[@warrencollins6256]

Do you have any engineering skills?

[@androzetga1916]

Heat it with oxy-acetilene torch for at least 30 minutes and bang it with hammer

[@bundysgarage]

That was my next move but had to to the car going that night.

[@lonwillis783]

I thought everything just fell apart in California. Just need a crescent wrench and all good. Lol. Just joking Thanks Bundy!

[@chriscox7247]

Who works on brakes with flip flops on. Come on man

[@Ausblack]

Indian safety boots

[@mr.nobody4900]

Why not go to the junk yard? Parts would've been way cheaper and got all the extra parts you needed.

[@philtowle4683]

They are probably all seized too. Just bought a caliper off eBay for a pathfinder and nearly as bad as the one I was replacing
