I took off the whole caliper to take a look at it. Im not talking about the slide pins the pads slides on. Im talking about the slider pins the whole caliper slides on. Anyway to free these up? to clarify more, its the braket attached to the brake pad indicator.

carefully remove the rubber boots then as gently as possible remove them and lube them up well

I got it done, finally!!! Took the rubber boot that covers the hex key bolt slider. Undid it, ran it back and forth till it was sliding like butter. Bleed my brakes and now everything is awesome!!! They seem a little sponge but with a pull of the lever i can lock the front tires up on a hard surface road.
