I have 2 stuck caliper guide pins on the front passenger side. Need to figure out how to get them off? Thanks

Hello,

Brakes do not have guide pins. The caliper should be held on with two bolts. If the bolts are stuck then I would recommend spraying them liberally with WD40 or PB Blaster and letting them set at least 15 minutes to 1/2 hour. Then if they are still hard coming off, get a length of pipe that your ratchet handle or wrench will fit in to. This will give you leverage and you should be able to break the bolt free. Here is a link to a guide that should help:

Please keep us informed and I hope that this helps.

Thanks,
