Already lost one of the slide pins, I suspect it was weak threads. One was missing when I started, I chased the hole, and the new pin threaded in easily.

Is there any other trick to securing the caliper without using a Helicoil?

I don't undertsand how it makes so much noise now, but didn't make a sound at all missing one pin completely...
