Yes, there is a 14mm bolt that goes into the slider pin...the bolt holds the caliper to bracket.
Now sounds like ur slider pin is stuck and I bet it's the lower one, just try to spin it out since it's moving while pulling at same time with pliers.
If completely stuck one needs to heat the bracket and than spin pin.
To answer ur question... Definitely one can reuse just make sure it's nice and clean, a drill bit works perfectly as long as it's same size as pin to clean inside the bracket, as for pin just wire brush.. Lube all with new boot and good to go.
Also the problem is do to no maintenance but mostly the stupid rubber insulator rubber ring at the end of the pin and I bet that is what is stuck, it's just for sound repression and really serves no other reason so don't use it.
