The bolt goes through the caliper and screws into the end of the pin which is in hole in the bracket. The slider is #1 in the pic.

You description of the damage is unclear.

well i got it out today.

last time that i did brakes in this, i used anti-seize on the slide pins. i guess that was what i did wrong. this is the pin that has a grommet on it, and was keeping the brake compressed due to the anti-seize solidifying. i got the slide pin out and the grommet out of the bracket. well im gonna clean them up and use the 'proper' grease this time.

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE INPUT!!!!!!

Always replace the stainless brackets that help hold the pads in. They should also be lubricated with Never Seize, as well as the back of the pads where the piston or caliper makes contact. Use as little as possible, and don't get any on the pads or rotor. The pins shown in the photo by donbrew need to be cleaned and lubricated also, or the pad may not release and wear out.

There is brake grease made for the purpose.

My personal experience with adding either glue or lube on the back of the pads is it doesn't make a bit of difference, as long as the shims are installed correctly. All of those "back of the pad" preps are supposed to be anti-squeal; I have never had squealing. I have even experimented with tossing the shims out with no squeal.

Do Not use never seize on the brake pad lube points, it can’t handle the heat!
Use a silicone grease brake line designed for the specific application
