NEED HELP -- Brakes
I just removed one of my calipers and the top slider the one the brake clips pivot on is totally seized... How do I tap/drill/get it out of there? Any suggestions?
(See picture below. I remove the VERY LARGE one that was here.)

Try progressively larger hammers? Looks like you've soaked it already. Perhaps give it a day to soak in completely?

If you have too, try some heat as well.

You mite be able to unbolt the pin from the caliper bracket and then try using a punch to knock the pin out.

As usual, all it takes is the proper too.
