Hello all, its been a while since my last visit, but I ran into a problem when changing out my brakes.

Yesterday I pulled the wheel hoping to diagnose the wheel shudder/vibration and found the culprit. The top caliper guide pin is frozen in place and it appears as though the rubber boot had been torn and caused it to rust. Try as I might, I was unable to coax the pin out with my set of vise grips or my bench vise. Finally, at 11 PM, I gave it another good spray of P'Blaster and decided to let it soak overnight. This is a daily driver that is out of commission and making things a bit difficult.

Is this something that will require a new or rebuilt caliper, or are there some tips/tricks that are available to me?

Thanks in advance for any help!
