Threaded Sleeve on the caliper is stuck... Like mentiond in the title, it wont move AT ALL...and i need it to move back about 2mm(which isnt sitting flush) so that the caliper can go in straight with the new pads....i tried WD-40, tried banging it out, but no luck...what should I do, or how should I approach to take it off??? Thanks....

Re: Threaded Sleeve on the caliper is stuck... If you are speaking of the bolt that holds the caliper on, you may have some luck pressing it out with a pair of "arc joint pliers" (commonly known as channel locks), due to the arc that the jaws swing in, you may be able to put one side on the edge of the caliper and the other on the end of the slider and press it backwards. (If you can remove it and clean it with steel wool and reassemble with a very small amount of caliper grease). GOod luck.

Perhaps no one answered your question because what you asked for does not exist. Lastly, there are several detailed writeups on 'brakes Et al'. Maybe even in the LS1.com FAQ.
Re: Threaded Sleeve on the caliper is stuck... Zeta,
YOu are correct, I was thinking of the slider that the bolt goes through, not the actual bolt (wow, may have to pull mine off again to remember where all the parts are....lol).
