On my front brakes (both sides )I have a seized lower guide pins on each caliper. This has caused the pads to wear asymmetrically. I have tried to free the pin up but no joy so may need to go route of replacement caliper support bracket and pin. Can anyone recommend a breakers that might keep these? Subaru dealer wants £59 + vat each for the support bracket.

Any other tips to free the pins off welcomed. So far I have used penetrating oil/spray, hitting with hammer and trying to lever free with large wrench - no joy.

is it pin that bolt passes throught to attach to caliper to mount?

if it is surprised they havent moved with what you have used. maybe try some heat but take care of caliper as its cast. if you do get them out you will get new bits here:

Car Brakes – Brake Parts for Cars or phone godspeed

but caliper is useless if you dont get old bit out..

To get them out we would let the soak in penetrating oil , then heat if that doesn't work , then machining it out of that fails , if you want to send me the caliper carrier i'll get it out for you
