If nothing budges or it breaks you have to make the phone call.

If it does move you clean the bore and the pin and re-grease.
When I re-installed my new winter tires I looked at the guide pin, it looks like it was never touched, they did replace the pads.
The shop recently expanded from 2 techs to 5 so I'm thinking someone less experienced did the brakes.
I'll have to see what they say.

Thanks Bob
