    Pierre, Sometimes I have success with gripping the caliper pin end in a vice, and using the caliper bracket as a lever rotate it back and forth while soaking in CRC or similar.

    Thumbs up

    Justin, success! Mongrel thing had COMPLETELY seized. A small amount of strategic heat broke the bind-up. Some judicious cleaning up, antiseize on the pins, JOY again.

    Thanks.
