Ok so I was changing wheel bearings cause it was due. While I am doing this I notice only one side of my passenger rear disk is worn. After further investigating I find that the bolts that hold the caliper are stuck and do not allow the calliper to slide back when the piston moves out. Where can I find a new bracket for my car? Auto Zone, Orielly's, Napa, or Reynolds ford couldn't get them. So what do I do? I was thinking that mybe some other cars may have came with them like lincolns or rangers but I don't know. If anybody knows what to do please let me know. My car has just been sitting and I cant find a freakin bracket arghh.

The same thing happened with my car(the sliding pins were stuck). They should be regreased and will work fine. I'm not sure why you would need a new bracket though? maybe you can take a pic?

Well I sprayed them with penetrating oil and then i put a wrench on it and the bolt snapped. Well now I have a new bracket but I need the sliding pins. Anybody know if our brakes came on a different car like a lincoln or ranger?
