Rear brake pads on 04 RAV4 needed replacement. After 5 years of New York winters the pins that hold the pads in were rusted/welded to the caliper, see diagram http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=1152189 used PB Blaster and one side was soaked for 24 hours. Couldn't get the bottom pin out on both sides. Used the CRC Freeze-Off sprayed for 45 seconds each and the pins came out. The product freezes and contracts the offending part to break the seal.
