My drivers front caliper slides are frozen, looking to purchase the caliper mount with the slides, but everywhere I go the only sell it as a set with the calipers included. My calipers are fine, just have frozen slides. Any one know where I can get these other than dealer?

have you tried a junkyard?

nobody sells them new? Thats very hard to belive! If I pull it from a bone yard, it may also be messed up, and now I've wasted time and money for nothing. I work 7 days a week usually, so I don't have the time to mess around. I would like to find them new if possible. Thanks for the idea however. If I had more time it may have been an option.

Easy fix...follow me closely.....pull the complete brackets off the car......take a good propane torch and heat the area where the pins are inserted until it is good and hot. Let the bracket cool off a bit then spray the pin with PB blaster. Take a small hammer and start tapping on the end of the pin....tap tap tap for about 5mins spray some more pb blaster on it......pins will pull right out.

Advance auto sells new pins...i used the old ones over... Good Luck. Its alot easier than you think to get um out. A liitle heat, pb blaster and alot of tapping will free up quickly.

Just heat them up. Use some PB Blaster or Fluid Film. They will come out. I had one that was literally rusted in place. Heated it up and cleaned it off and its working great now.

Loosen the bolts from the backside of the caliper. I noticed when putting them back together the caliper bracket would not slide back on until I loosened one side of the slides. It would be logical to do this with stubborn removal.

You will need a box end wrench to keep it from turning in place when loosening nut. (they use red loctite from factory)

Yep. When I replaced my brakes in 06 I got them from Napa. I did them again in Nov and had to get a new caliper..blah.
