Well this is the problem:

Not the threaded bolt as that came out fine but the other part (the bit that moves in and out lol) that wont move - hence minimal brake/disc movement at the bottom of the caliper.

Might be a case of brutal strength and some grease...

Arr right that bits cheap I got a whole hub including that bracket for £40 second hand. I think best idea is as you said hammer and grease a new one isn't that much though.

Sounds like its rusted inside . They normally just slide out and are greased inside . Brute for like ya say , then give it a good rub down with some emery cloth and clean up the inside where it slides into then pack with grease .

Think I'll try to loosen the carrier first.

If it snaps then I may be on the phone to Yoz later.
