Just did rear brakes disc and pads and one of the slide carrier pins is very hard to push in and out on both side. Is it supposed to be like that or loose to move freely

Do you mean the slide pins? They're supposed to slide in and out very easily (bear in mind the pins with the plastic collars won't feel quite as free as the plain metal ones). Pull the sticky ones out, clean them thoroughly, clean out the holes they go in with solvent and when everything's dry again grease them with a good quality silicone grease. If you don't the calipers will have a tendency to bind and you'll get very uneven pad wear.
