Ok, I need to replace all 8 of the rubber boots/seals that retain the grease on the slider pins for the brake calipers as they are beginning to deteriorate.

Can these be found anywhere else besides the stealership?

TIA

It's been awhile since I replaced mine, but I couldn't find any at the local auto parts stores......I had to take the raping from the stealership .

If I can remember right, I replaced my caliper sliding pins with some new pins that came with the rubber piece. I got them at Advance. Shouldn't be hard to get.

It depends on the brand. Some caliper hardware kits come with the boots and some don't. You'll have to ask to be sure.

I assume these contain the guide pins too?
I hope so at this price.

Can't just buy the rubber boots?
Nothing wrong with my pins, just the boots.

*EDIT............................................. .........................

OK it appears from all the C5 brake conversion sites and others that P/n 12530703 also fits the front caliper pins, so 8 of these would be needed to replace them all the way around.

I'm not quite sure what p/n 18026151 is (comes up just as "Guide") unless its the pin with the boot.

But I did find this kit for $11.48 at the local auto parts store:

USA Brake PIN BOOT KIT
Part Number: 18047A
2002 PONTIAC FIREBIRD TRANS AM
Engine: V8 5.7 Liter FI
Pin Boot Kit; Front & Rear

I think I'll give this a try first, if its not right I can just take it back and order the other ones.

Thats the one. USA Brake was the brand just not sure on the part # though. It would be the same as what I have though if its for that model. That and some silicone grease should be all you need for the job.
