Ok. I can't get the damn caliper off!! Both bolts off, tried to pull up on the thing and it moved a little so I tried back n forth motion. It gave a little more and then I tried a rubber mallet but that damn thing wont budge. I have had trouble before with calipers but the mallet has always been enough to work it loose. Any ideas?

should still come off. i had a frozen caliper once. beat it with a hammer. i usually only take out the top bolt. the caliper will pivot and the bottom will just slide out to grease it once ya have the top out. i use nevercease on the sliders now. but ya, beat if a bit.
