Both @Tweety Bird and I gotta have a break from all this. I had to deal with rusted slide pins on the calipers front and rear axle. We managed to find enough of my tools to at least do a simple repair. Suzanna has been busy packing the RV so we can go take a break camping locally.

I'm kind of amazed. Got the front brakes done with slide pins. Both side you had to beat the pins out of the boots. The last time I did brakes at 350k miles till now with 497k miles and rolling.

Finished this project. Sadly I found my MPG loss. Driver side rear was stuck on the side pins and ate those pads up about 1/4 of a inch left.

Oh boy does that bring back some unpleasant, hot, and sweaty memories! My was doing the exact same thing a few years back, in 2023 I think. My truck still had the original factor pads on it from when I purchased the truck new and they were only about 20% worn, so I decided to just clean and lube everything up and use everything over again. That was a LOT of work and the brakes STILL hung up and over heated. I ended up replacing EVERYTHING, calipers, disks, pads, hoses, lines, fluid was double flushed. Hope you got things good enough to get back home without incident.
