Pull the caliper out completely and grease up the upper pin. Grease up the lower pin and screw it back in.
The caliper should now slide inboard and outboard freely.

You removed the caliper by the mounting bracket to replace the brake rotor.
The pins I am talking about are the ones the caliper slides on. The pins come into play when you replace the brake pads.

Cool I remember there were some Q's about whether they were the real thing - glad to hear they worked out.
About the sticking I agree that it's *probably* the pins needing lube. Once you take the caliper off make sure to clean the pin and clean the inside of the caliper where the pin goes through too. I've had the inside get cacked with some pretty hard "gunk" and even with grease it didn't free up well until I cleaned the actual caliper. If they are working correctly they are easy to slide on and off that pin when you're putting it back together.

I've seen them on e-bay occasionally...

Or try these guys. You'll probably have to e-mail them to find out if they have them, as their catalogue doesn't list everything...

Ok, that is what I thought. Trying to find them for a 82 is nearly impossible.

I just bought a full set on ebay. $139 for all four. Cant pass them up at that price. They tell you to specify which set you need. So you can get them for an 82 no problem.

Banned. I got OWNED!!!
Is there really any point to getting them cross-drilled aside from looks?

Depends on who you ask bouis. I bought them cause the price for all 4 was lower than replacements from autozone. I could care less that they are drilled/slotted whatever.
