Does the Phase 1 TS rear calipers/Lucas calipers have regular slider pins that slide? mine does not slide one bit, feels like they are fixed in place, is this suppose to be like that? when i try to undue the slider pins they just screw and screw and never come out.

If you look carefully, you'll see another hex head ( under the rubber boot? - I can't remember ).

Stick a spanner on that and you'll then be able to undo the bolt holding the caliper to the slider.

Also, one of the sliders will be stepped. Make sure you note which hole the stepped slider goes into.

so.. thats a yes? are they suppose to slide up and down? mine are rusty and no lube. so im guessing il need new ones. but there are no hex under it. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ALFA-GTV-...2b53c88&pid=100005&rk=1&rkt=6&sd=231658217070 for pic

There is! If you look at the picture you linked to, at the end of each slider is a hex shaped part. A spanner on that will allow you to undo the bolt screwed into the end of the slider.

Watch this video from about 20 seconds in to see the use of a second spanner to undo the pin.

At about 1:10, he removes the caliper. At that point the pins can be removed from the mounting bracket.

yes i know there are hexes, they just turn and nothing happens, its totally stuck. i got one free, just poked a hole in the boot and sprayed some wd40 and turned the hex. but all the others are more stuck so its not working yet. have to wait to see if enough lube gets to the bottom of the pins.

got it out with some screwing and pulling and swearing. found sand and copper grease inside from the previous owner. why why why...

Nothing wrong with copper grease, how did the sand get in there?

I dont know if its sand or if its dried copper grease, which is why i dont use it with rubber, Silicone grease for sliding pins as water resistant and safe with rubber. Copper is alot less friendly to rubber then silicone as it may dry up. boots where fine, it had just seized up everything, had to clean it all, wire brush the pins, new boots and greased up. now they push them selves up which is good.
