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?

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

I took the caliper to my mechanic and within 5 mins it was out
He used one of those air hammer thingy majigy's (technical term) and knocked it right out... He gets to do the front brakes, I am sick of messing with it... I'll stick to the small stuff (Cooler, sway, PS line)
Thanks for the input guys & sorry about the extremely huge picture

As usual, all it takes is the proper too.
