Caliper guides/pins

Not sure what they are called... the two pins fixed to the caliper that slide inside the carrier..?

Is it possible to buy them on their own (without a caliper) for Sierra rears? If so, what do I ask for?

Reason being is I bought a replacement pair and didn't realise I'd need to take the pins off the pair that I chopped in!

Cheers, Chris

Ordered from Biggred via Paypal.

Parts arrived next day so was very impressed. Got them down to the workshop and found that one of them was the wrong size. Quick email back to them, and I have a replacement here already.

So in short, a recommendation for Biggred. They might have made a mistake, but don't we all, and they rectified it straight away. In a strange way it makes me more likely to use them again as it shows they care about customer service even on such a low priced order!

Now, only question is, what grease do I use to assemble them? Just ordinary lithium stuff or something special for the job?

Cheers, Chris

Sounds like superb service.

Ref grease - ive just used whatever i could put my hands on in the past. Usually copper grease. Dont know what the official line is but ive never had a problem before.
