well i have a small electic air pump it says it goes to 250 psi but when i tried it in there only brake fluid shot out. So im supposed to leave it in there a while then they will shoot out??

Update and good news on the sliders. I let the bores soak with PB for an hour then I flushed it out with carb cleaner. I was close then. On one of the calipers on the Locking bolt the rubber tip was coming off. So I replaced it with one from the kit. Presto!! I did it to both calipers. Now the slider caliper sits about an inch away from the piston side caliper. I can press it in a good half inch and it comes back to 1 inch. I dont know how these work as Ive never seen a new caliper but this seems right to me. Anyways after I get them painted I will try them on the car hopefully this week
