Changed the front brake pads on my car last weekend and what an absolute nightmare it was. Seems as though the previous owner(s) have never heard of grease. Everything was seized solid, so after many hours of heating and hammering got everything free'd off to lube it all up and put back together with new pads.
Unfortunatly being the dumbass that i am i managed to loose an intergral part of the brakes. It was the lower caliper guide pin that allows the caliper to slide as the pads start to wear.
I've managed to nock up a pin/bolt assembly to keep me going for now but it's obviously not ideal!
Thing is when searching on the net i can't find any kind of kit to replace.
Everything i do come across seems to be for way older models.
The car in question is a 1997 Honda Civic 1.5L 5 door MB model.
If you could source said item it would be much apprieciated!
Cheers.
