May want to spray it down with some PB blaster right where the parts go together.

You can drift those pins out with a punch....but yes, I'd be considering some re-manufactured calipers if all of them look like that one. I rebuilt mine....but I started with something not quite so degraded.
Stay after it.
Dumb question - can you buy the bearings pre-pressed? In that video series if I recall correctly, he didn't press the bearings and just omitted it.
I have a small tabletop hydraulic press - 6600lbs for smaller fabrication. Not sure if that's enough weight to give em a proper pack pack packeroo

You don't need a press, you can just hit the races out with a brass drift. I prefer to cut the old race and use it to reinstall the races.
Thanks, good to know. Dude's videos are great. Although, everyone's saying how meticulous he is, but when he skipped that part - I was like, uhhhhhhh bruh

Yes, you need to make a relief cut in the old race so it doesn't get stuck when you use it to tap the new one in. IMO removal is more tricky than install, take your time and make sure to use brass tools when possible.Is it easy to install the new one using the old?
I Need youtube for reference
Rock auto reman ok?
Is that assembly complete just hook the brake line or do I need some piston and rubber seal or something?
I always order not enough items
Reman calipers come complete, ready to bolt on.
I’ve had a set of these on my truck for over a year, very happy with them. Shot them with some black caliper paint before installing.Rock auto reman ok?

Tip: Always power wash entry area you'll be working, before the start of service.
It's also best practice to wash undercarriage and the entire brake caliper, pads & rotors the best you can after driving in snow, rain, water crossing, sand, mud, dust roads, etc. Then drive to dry.
