Rusty caliper slide pin

What would happen if you had 1 rusty slide pin?

Asking as a friend (who is more hopeless than me Embarassed ) said he has just found the front passenger bottom slide pin is rusty and hard to slide (it does slide, but he says its jerky).

What damage will that do to his brakes, if any?

Wear them out!- tell him to get it sorted Smile
 It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Pads will stick on, and cook the brakes.

Thanks.

He will need (in my opinion) to buy a new carrier and pins.

In the meantime I have told him to clean them up as good as he can and then lube thoroughly.

Cheers

The carrier maybe ok depending on severity here.
New slide pin kit, and clean out the carrier in first instance. Grease with silicon grease.
Best to do both sides while the tools are out.

Agree ^^^ I had stuck sliding pins on my front passenger side. It wore the pads out really quickly and warped the disk towards the end as the pads would stick on after hard breaking! Much more expensive than a set of new slider pins. Big Cry
