I'm trying to replace my pads as we speak, but there seems to be a rusty slider pin, how can i get it out of the slot to regrease it??

thx

 

take off caliper bracket , soak pin with penetrating oil , stick pin in vise and
work the bracket back and forth . Took me over an hour to get one pin out,
which I then cleaned up with emery cloth ( clean out the hole to). If the pin
is too far gone, pin set at parts stores are only a couple bucks.

 

Been through this before, a couple of times actually. The caliper bracket is actually called a Torque member. You can buy the pins from Nissan or the bracket/pin assembly from an aftermarket company through Autozone.

To prevent this from happening again, make sure you regrease the pins every time you change your brake pads, and inspect them every time you take the wheels off.

Check out this thread, it might provide more insight. It has part numbers and prices.
