My rear piviot pin is seized on my 86 MR2. Im trying to take it off to try and grease it or just replace it. But on the rear there is only one bolt the other side is a Piviot pin(name according to Haynes). I dont know how to get the caliper off that pin it may just slide off but like i said the rear brakes piviot pin is sezeid up. Any thoughts or ideas would be helpfull THANX

There should be a hole in the top of the caliper about halfway down. You should be able to fit a wrench or a pry bar in there to force the caliper up.

twist and muscle it off. sounds really gooey and baked on the slider in there.
