[QUOTE="MotoMike, post: 1445074, member: 92743"] I was removing the pins so that I could inspect and clean the pads and piston. It was difficult to get the pins moving and I was thinking about squirting on some "Liquid Wrench" penetrating oil figuring they were seized up with rust (even though there wasn't any evidence of that, externally). However, with just a little more torque, the pins started moving, albeit with a lot of resistance, similar to what you would feel if whoever (the PO, not me) had used threadlock on the pins when assembling the caliper. When the pin came out, I noticed "silver threadlock" on the pin. Huh. I never heard of "silver threadlock". Exactly the same thing happened with the second pin. When I inspected the caliper, I saw that the "silver threadlock" was actually the threads from the caliper that had bonded to the threads on the pin and had stripped out with the pins. [/QUOTE]
