This is the rear caliper. As you can see the caliper piston was stuck and was driven all the while the inside pad was grinding away. Young driver that didn’t realize what was going on. As near as I can tell, either the bolt is rusted some and won’t budge or it is the factory original and has never been removed even though the truck is 18 years old. The breaker bar wouldn’t move it even with a cheater bar added. I haven’t tried heat yet, but I have tried tapping on the mount with a rubber mallet trying to see if I can loosen something up.
