Re: Calipers frozen? Won't spread or contract.
Yeah, I think the air pressure has a lil to do with it. Still though this seems to be a lack of experience issue. I took the slider bolts off and pushed them in and out a bit like something else we all know (ahemmm) and then they started moving better. I guess they just needed to lubricate all inside the slider bolt bore/hole. I also made sure to thread the bolts 95% of the way in the caliper while I then pushed the caliper bracket on there. This meant that I'd be pushing inward fighting as much air volume (bolt against bore) as I could. Leaving the bracket extended as far out as possible I then snapped the bolt boots in their place and then I tightened up the slider bolts. They now work much better. One is still not as good as I'd like it to be, but its much better.
NO PAINT INSIDE or ON anything it shouldn't be. I made sure to tape everything off well.
