Default Disc Brake Problem

I just changed my front pads on my '93 GS 300 and on the driver side it appears that one of the floating sleeves that the caliper bolts to has seized. It caused the old pads to wear unevenly and the new pads are to tight and binding.
The sleeve is on the bracket that bolts to the spindle. Is this part available or can I have the bracket rebuilt?
Any help appreciated,

Default New Caliper

I think you are going to need a new caliper.

Do you have a pull apart in your local area. You can probably find a gs300 with calipers and pull what you need.

Can you get the pin out of the current caliper?

I got a rebuilt caliper & bracket assembly for $62 from my local auto supply. I was going to hit the junkyard or try to repair the old one but at that price it wasn't worth the hassle.
Thanks
