Default rear brake rusted

So i went to do my rear brakes, and to my surprise everything was rusted to the point where the little squealing stick broke off.

I have integra rears and 1 of 4 of these.

Is rusted in, I've tried hammering inwards, hammering it outwards, tapping it around, using a C clamp to put force on it and then hammering, none worked.

To get to the point, does anybody have any tricks in getting this out?

My next method is to take it off for a day and let it soak in pb blaster, or even CLR?

You know the 2 bolts that holds the caliper onto the knuckle?

So the longer female rod, goes into the knuckle and the brake caliper is bolted to it.




It's supposed to be springy, but its just seized in there, if you know what i'm saying.

Ignore the arrow

You can try soaking it with Kroil for a bit. They guaranteed that it will work or your money back. You can also try an impact gun instead. Good luck!

Kroil is good stuff but if you just go to the parts store and get a New Semi-loaded brake Cal it comes with the whole braket and both slides(the part your trying to fix is called a Brake Slide) also if the slide is that stuck your brakes will not work right even if to get it out

Kroil can only be bought in groups, so thats a no go.

Went to look up some stuff and found the bracket for 15 bucks from oreilly. Going to just buy one of those.
