I'm doing the front brakes on my 2002. I noticed that the bottom pin on the caliper bracket doesn't slide in and out. At first I thought that it was frozen but when I pull the rubber back it has a collar on the pin that prevents it from going in. It appears to be pressed in place and is not meant to move. Is that the way it's supposed to be. If so what's the purpose of the rubber boot. When I look at replacement brackets they show that both pins move. I'm confused.
After looking at it again the collar I'm seeing is part of the bracket. It looks like the pin is frozen solid. I tried a big hammer and a large vise grip but it's not budging. This is a new one on me. I've never seen a pin frozen inside the bracket like this one. Rather than mess with it any more I'm just going to order a new bracket and pins.
