I just saw a thread of a person wanting to buy the brake pins, and remembered an issue we found while replacing the axle seal last week. One of the brake pins in the front driver side on my 1993, was very loose. We could easily pull it and push it with our hands. Is this something I should care about?

brake pins?
You realize those brake pins hold your brake pads in place right? Just slightly important

If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be? -
the pins can (and should) move within the caliper all they want as long as they can't pull out (hence the retention clip that get used with them). there are 2 styles that i'm aware of: pins with holes near the head of the pin that use a W style retention wire, and the pins with holes at the tip of the pin that use individual retention clips at the back side of the caliper.Trees aren't kind to me...
