Can anyone confirm that the smaller diameter slide pin is meant to be stiff? As in alot more stiffer than the larger one. Ive done everything i can and its making no difference

I think mine was when i rebuilt them Stani as they have the two rubber bungs on them making them stiffer to slide?...

Yeah i carefully removed the rubber pieces, cleaned them out. Sanded pins down, tried everything but the smaller of the pins just would not be as easy to slide than the other. But thought id check

I think i might have over greased mine when i first put the pins back in, made a bit of a vacuum lock & wasn't willing to slide at all! Cleaned it out, cleaned them up and worked a treat

Cool, were the rebuild kits just off ebay? Worth buying?

Just thought I'd add that when I pulled my calipers of the carriers last night I experienced a similar issue on both of mine. So you're not alone on that one quick clean up and the fresh kit above and mine were happy
