This is an adventure I just recently went thru:

One pin was rusted so badly in its bore that I couldn't seperate it from the caliper bracket. Result? Had to get a new caliper bracket. Problem: very very hard to find. I think Voluparts finally had them, for like $25 each or so, loaded with pins/boots for another $10 per pin... (or per pair of pins? I forget, I was just happy to find someone who sold the stupid bracket!)

Keep those pins lubed up! Replace the boots and re-grease them every time you do the pads! ESPECIALLY if you notice uneven wear between pads!

I now have new Ate powerstop rotors in front, new stock Ate discs in back, PBR deluxe pads all around, rebuilt calipers & new brackets & pins up front. lubed up the rear pins of course. Bled with a power bleeder from www.motiveproducts.com, can't say enough about that thing!
