I sure did. Whoever did that job last either didn't grease them or didn't use the right kind of grease. I've dealt with stuck pins before, but damn!

There was close to 50% of pad left on the old brake pads. I just wanted to replace that shit because of the occasional shaking steering wheel when I would hit the brakes. Now I'm thinking that guide pin was what was causing that and not a warped rotor.

They feel pretty good, but didn't really drive a good distance to know for sure. I don't know, I guess I drove about five miles.
