I've damaged a caliper slider & boot. Nissan want £31 each

One was free and easy but the bottom one was solid. I ended up hammering it with a socket on the end which moved it but not without smashing the flange off the bolt head :doh and the little boot is all split :doh:doh
Are they available anywhere else?
Just rung Nissan and they are £31 each

just found these but I cant wait until 12-20 Aug for delivery from Latvia
I might just grease them up for now? Would that be ok do you think? but order these new sliders and boots.

I think that you can get them at the motorfactors, they are fairly standard, and the bolt should technically be replaced each time they are undone.

I would be a little worried about using the old bolt, as that sounds like it may have been weakened by what you have had to do, but for the sake of a couple of weeks, I would be less worried about not having the rubber boot, just get it sorted asap.

Thanks Lazy Ferret :thumbs
I put it all back together with new pads. Plenty of grease on the damaged slider so hope it will be ok until the new ones come from Latvia. The old inside pad was a right mess outside pad was only half worn :nenau that'll be the solid slider's fault I reckon.
Couldn't get any discs round here today and prices were a bit steep £60/pair. Ordered Mintex from Ebay for £45 delivered :clap
