Default Rear caliper brackets

I need to buy replacement caliper brackets for my wife's Tahoe , the slide pins in the bracket that the caliper bolts to are pretty rusted .

When I look online for replacement caliper brackets , they all show them without the slide bolt and rubber covers, can I buy brackets already loaded ?, or do I also need to buy new pins and rubber covers ?

I've never dealt with these before , do the new pins just slide right in the new bracket with caliper grease ?

The brackets I have are so crusty I can't get the slide bolts to
Move let alone try to tear them apart to see how they work .

Thanks for the help.

Yes the pins just slide right in, one pin has a rubber sleeve on it and I cant remember if that pin goes on the top or bottom. I am not sure if you can get one or the other or if they come with pins or not.

Tim, I rebuild them almost daily. If you have any questions give me a shout. You also can buy them at local parts stores. If you prefer ACDelco let me know I will take care of you. You are always welcome to bring the Suburban over to the shop.

The pins bolt to the bracket. So you can replace them without having to buy anything else.

RockAuto Parts Catalog (I guessed on the year)

I know it may be messy but you could coat the bracket with a little never sieze to help postpone rusting. I do this on the back side of my rotors as well so they will come off the hub with ease.
