Does anyone know how to repair brake calipers with the repair kit from Subaru?
Anyone have step by step instruction on how to repair brake calipers? I think my slider pin seized. Now my pads are dragging everywhere I go.

TIA

throw lots of antiseize on the pin and get it out of there somehow. grind off the rust and lube it up good. Make sure the boot is still good or it will happen again.

That's what I did, but only as a temp solution. I got one from a junkyard that was in better shape a week or two later.

Bit late, but the slider pins are known to clog up and cause problems.

I had a slider pin that froze up, I pulled it apart and had to grind the rust off the pin until it worked again. 8 months later I replaced both front calipers with new Subaru ones.
