If I remember on those you can lift off the rubber sleeve pass it over the pin. You can do it on the vehicle then heat the slider and the top of the pad holder till it get really hot you can move it with a wrench.Watch out they can pop out when hot... Then take a old bolt smaller then the pin take a hack saw cut it down the middle. Put a piece of sand paper in the cut put it on your favorite drill and clean the guide for the pin, buff the pin use a good synthetic grease to lube it up with and you should be good till next time.
