Ok so my car finally hit 33000 miles after 3.5 years. The rear brakes were bad so I decided to chnge them out. But I've encountered a problem. It seems the stufs on te mounting braket for the rear calipers are supposed to be able to slide in and out with the caliper but mine have seized up. I have tried just about everything to get them to un freeze including soaking it in wd 40 all night to pounding on them to get them to go back in. Ford sells the mounting bracket but it doesn't come with the studs and the caliper kit but I don't need new calipers. Does anyone happen to know where I might be able to find that bracket with the studs. Or have any idea on how to get them un seized.

The 2 Attachments show the studs I am referring to circled in red.

If now and I am going to have to buy new calipers are there any upgrade calipers available for the rear? IE Cobra Mach or Bullet?

Please let me know

I know this is a bit old, but how did you ever solve the problem? I have the same one right now.

I ended up having a friend heat it and hit it with a 10 ton press to break the pins loose. Then I sanded and regreased and bought new bushings. Was a major PITA
