i just bought my bronco II today. I paid $1300 canadian for it and its in really good condition. I am only the third owner and it hasnt been drivin in the last 3 years so the caliper sliders have siezed up.
I brought it in for an inspection before i purchased it and the mechanic said the brake system was good except for the caliper sliders, they had seized. Well i needed to drive the car home and on the way home the brakes appeared to over heat, so i figure its just the caliper sliders. Ive looked everywhere to try to figure how to fix it in the easiest way, but i havent found anything yet. I think they are also known as caliper pins. any help? is it an expensive fix? timely? i had changed the breaks on my old acura integra but i havent ever done a domestic
how do i replace the caliper sliders in my 1986 bronco II

caliper slides are fairly easy on these you will need a pair of channel lock pliers or locking pliers and a good screw driver or center punch to place on caliper pin (looks like two metal pieces with rubber in the middle) and sqeeze the ends together and then while holding them together take your hammer and beat the hell out of these slides until they pop right out then take some sand paper and clean the caliper and caliper housing where this slides though and just lubricate and put back in to make sure they slide freely mine did the same on the passenger side and this method worked great for me
