Well after changing my front brakes, I took the two small caliper pins out and lubed them but the whole boot plus piston came off completely. Now I cant make it to stay seated properly with my pins inside of the caliper . I can firmly pull it out of the boot. I know this can cause it to rust and shit to get inside of it.

I went to the dealer today and they dont even sell them individually.

What do you guys think?

You have to buy the Lock-pin in order to get the rubber boot if they dotn sell it separaty which they dont because I looked it up on NISSAN FAST.

Or are you talking about the piston dust boot:

This is one from a Q45 calipers which I had left over from a Q45 caliper rebuild, I bought this from autozone since it wasn;t available alone from the dealer:

Heres a pic of the piston dust boot:

yes its that pin, but i just need the small dust boot that covers it. Know where I can find 4? I check autozone dont carry unless that sales guy was too noob to search it up for me.
