HELP!! I was replacing my rear brakes on my truck and the slide pin for that the caliper mounts to was frozen and broke off. How do I get this thing out. I tried heat and vise grips didn't work. I am lost here folks please help.

more heat and keep working it back and forth while using wd40 thread side. Let that baby get red hot. at least it didn't break off flush.

Not working heat I got that thing so red hot it was cooking the wd40. I called my buddy up he said to drill a hole on the backside and use a punch and hammer it out. Guess what that didn't work. I am not worry about the bracket new one at murrays autoparts is 15 bucks. But I need my truck tomorrow.

Thanks guys, lucky for me I have friends that have tools I don't have yet and they let me use them. I called my buddy last night took the bracket to his house and we drilled out he slide pin completely. Checked the hole with a new slide pin and seemed safe to use. Needless to say I brought it home and installed it on the truck. The only difference between before and after all this is now the brakcet has a hole all the way through it but the slide pin only goes as far in as it needs too. So I am gonna drive it like this for awhile till I get the new bracket. This is the second time this has happened to me.
