Any help would be appreciated.Iv'e fitted new break pads and discs on front and one side of the back,got to last corner and the sliders are seized.Is there a tool to tackle this problem?

If you mean the little slider that holds the pads in and the clip goes through...
then yes a hammer and a decent punch or a screwdriver ;) .
Either knock them out and clean them up with a file afterwards or buy some new sliders.

once youve got it out a bit you can get some pliers on the end of it to pull it out and to wiggle it to save using the hammer and screw driver more than you have to lol

It happens all the time if they haven't been changed in a long time, obviously once you've had them off once you can clean/grease them up and should be good to go for a while!

Got to take mine off the 206 this weekend :wall: lol.
