I am installing new rear rotors and pads today. Everything was fine until i got to the drivers side and saw the bottom slide pin bolt is MISSING! And now the pin is almost frozen. So its memorial day weekend and i have new brakes but I need that bolt. Wht size is it? Also the pin is working fine now after i cleaned it up and re lubed it. I need to clean it out better for the bolt to go in all the way. I was using the top one to make sure it still has good threads. It seems they are just rusted up somewhat. I was hoping I could run to lowes or the hardware store for this bolt. any help would be great. Thanks Jeff

 

Check Guzzle's O ring site. He has a write up on the pins in his maintenance section. It may give you the info that you need.

 

Believe it or not, my local Checker Auto had the slide pins in stock. 2 per pack for 5 bucks.

 

O'Reileys hs the slide pins with the bolts included for 2 bucks for both wheels.

 

Just did my fronts and rears and got new pins and bolts from advanced auto. They are a metric bolt, if you don't have a auto parts store open just take the other slide pin bolt (they are identical top and bottom, but I believe fronts are different from the rears) with you when you go to a hardware store to match them up.

 

Take the top one with you there the same top and bottom.
