01 Blazer Caliper Slide Pin Removal
Hey everyone, I'm new here, but not that Ive found the site will definetly be back. I am having a problem with the brakes on my 2001 Blazer Xtreme. I have had this issue for a while and is time to get it taken care of for good.
This weekend, I replaced my brake pads on the rear of my truck b/c a grinding noise had started when the brakes were applied. When I removed the pads, I noticed the inner pads were significantly more worn than the outer (to the point that on the passenger side, there was no pad left). I know this is probably due to the caliper slide pins, but I can figure out how to remove them. I removed the 2 bolts that I thought were a single piece with he slide pins, but this was not the case, and the caliper would not break free from the mounting bracket. Does anyone have any suggestions? I need to get this taken care of before I go through another pair of pads.
