Frequently you will find if a mechanic "pad slaps" (replaces only the pads) on your car, that they don't take the time to remove the slide bolts, clean and lube them.
This leads to the issues of sticking and as you both found...tough to get them out and lube properly.

1/4" is a HUGE difference. if mine has a difference it is not obvious like that. I'll pull out the micrometers or dial calipers tonight....measurements to the 1/1000ths haha.
That same bolt was the hard one for me, lower driver side...what a pita

I guess I should be happy at how easily they did come out....interesting to know though.

Do you know if I can replace the rubber things the slides go in? since they are so gummed up with old lube.
