    Caliper slider pin problem

    This is the second time in about a year when I went to remove one of the slider pins on the DS front caliper it is bent. How is this possible and what could be causing this ?

    TIA

      The slider pin...caliper bolt holds the caliper to the caliper bracket

      I did the brakes last year and last weekend I had to replace a wheel bearing.

        hmmm... I had a similar problem. Never quite figured it out. I got some new pins from the Jy, cleaned the caliper pin holes, applied anti sieze on the pins, reinstalled and it has not happened again. Just remember if you have akebono calipers use the pins off akebono. Same with nissin.

          Anti-seize? Never. You should be using the proper lube for caliper pins. Make sure you get the right stuff, it should be easy to push and pull the pin, you shouldnt have to haul on it.

            Im just trying to figure out why they are bending, if they are bent then the pads dont release and it ruins the pads...... anyone ?

              the bore is too big? allowing the pin to bend like that?

              new rotor and pads im assuming? whats the condition of the piston?

                New rotors and pads put on last year and I had to replace one of the slider pins, no leaking or anything like that brakes work great , I just had to change the wheel bearing and the pin was bent again, inside pad was worn badly becuse slider pin being bent and not letting the pad release completely.

                  how does the pin slide in the bore though? is it tight and smooth or loosy goosy?

                    Almost sounds like the piston is on an angle, not allowing it to re-tract, thus bending the pins in an odd way, and eating away the pads. I would re-check those calipers. If they are original ones, you may be due for a caliper change anyways.

                      Fit seems good.

                      Might have to if this happens again, i'll recheck the pad and pin in a month.
