Re: front bottom caliper sliders
Do they rotate freely?

Re: front bottom caliper sliders
Not so strange... the bottom are a different design, they have a rubber bushing around the end and it can swell in certain situations. Then it comes off the slider and jams the whole lot solid.
When I've had that happen I had to just persevere with tapping it out while rotating it and eventually got it to move.
