Hi all,
Some beginner questions on brake caliper guide-pin bushings. Last when I replaced my brake pads I noticed my guide-pin rubber bushings were looking pretty old/worn, so this go around while I'm replacing my rotors I'll address those bushings. I have an ST with rear disc conversion, so I'm aware that when looking up parts--> ST parts on fronts and GT parts on rears. First (dumb one): Are there two guide-pin bushings on each caliper? Second: How difficult is it to replace the guide-pin bushings? Maybe someone can describe the steps. Third: I was thinking of buying OE replacement bushings (Wagner), just cause I don't think there is much to them. But please let me know if there is something important I'm not considering. I don't want to realize I needed some other parts, then I'm left waiting on parts. Thanks in advance! --------------------  |

Second: Very, very simple. You just have to remove the caliper from the bracket. Third: Wagner is fine - I got all my caliper hardware/bushings from RockAuto. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09
