[V8] sticky rear brakes

[Korn, Bob]

I had same issue, same wheel/brake assembly.  Was the cable, lack of use
and lack of lube, a bit of a pain to remove and lube, but not too bad.

Looks like I have the beginnings of a stuck caliper on the RR wheel. The
rotor
does not appear to be damaged yet - I only noticed the problem because
as I was
going skiing last weekend, the E-brake handle felt kinda funny.
When I got to the mountain, the RR wheel was hot while the others were
cool.
I got home and parked it.
So far I only have the wheel off - but it looks like I just remove the
two slide
pin bolts to get the caliper off?
What is the trick to compress the caliper without the special tool?

I am going to assume that it is just the slides that are sticky and just
order a
bolt kit and some new pads. I really hope the e-brake cable is OK - it
does not
look fun to replace that thing.
