Default 2008 Sante Fe Caliper Bracket Pins Frozen

I have a 08 Sante Fe, and the Caliper Bracket Pins are frozen on the front drivers side. 76,000 miles, and brakes needed changing, but pads not that bad, and even on both sides. Other side pins are fine. Nobody, including the dealer has the bracket assembly? Have to wait 5 days to get one ordered from dealer. WHY wouldn't they stock something as common as that. I've done brakes all my life, and at times have had to change one. Hyundai dealer says they haven't ever ordered one. WHAT? I asked. More than a little put out here. Plus it doesn't come without the caliper, and they think its made of gold. $350.00 bucks! THAT IS ROBBERY!

Why? Because they rarely fail and need replacing.

They are sold as an assembly. No, they aren't cheap. You could always buy a used bracket from a salvage year instead and replace it yourself since you've done brakes all your life.
