Hello everyone:

Still driving her every day. 181,500 miles and counting! Replaced the (front) brake pads and noticed that 3 of the 4 (2 per side) "threaded pins" that the brake caliper mount on are locked.

One of them still turns and moves (floats) in and out. The other 3 are locked solid. I would think that those can be replaced, but I have no idea what those parts are called and where to find them?

These are standard 12.5" dimpled rotors and brake calipers.

Any help in identifying these parts would be greatly appreciated. I can take some pictures and post them if needed.

Thanks,

Peter aka MMM2003

They're called caliper slide pins, make sure the kit you buy comes with new dust boots.

Thank you for the quick reply. Should be easy to find, now that I know what to look for.

I'm guessing pulling the old ones and installing the new ones will be a pain....!?

Again, thanks! Much appreciated.
