I checked Rock Auto, I checked Ebay, I checked AutoZone, I checked Amazon, I even called a local Toyota dealership. They said the 2009 is a really old model and they don't carry many parts for that. They did find one for $128, but I was like, "Seriously, I can buy the whole caliper for less than half that and it comes with the bracket". The reason I don't want a new caliper is twofold: 1: The core charge, which would mean I'd have to swap out the whole thing to get that back, and 2: I tried bleeding my brakes last year and wound up not doing a great job at it and had to have a shop do it. Plus, it seems a little like overkill to replace the calipers simply because the slide pin is stuck. Like stuck stuck, like heat, hammering, lube, nothing is working. It's just done.

So if anyone know where to get another that'd be great. I am somewhat worried this will be the same thing on the other side, so on the other hand, maybe I should just swap them both?

Junkyard? OR If your vehicle is older , then changing the caliper and bracket isn't the end of the world...

Yeah salvage yard 1st. I buy OEM parts from toyotapartsdeal.com.

Yep, swap them both out and those brakes will be good for years.
I've fought many a brake slider and am just about to do the rear brakes on my Odyssey with 235K. What do you think I'll find? I may end up taking my own advice but the car's for sale so I don't want to dump $$$ into it.
Finished the Odyssey rear pads. Was easy. Sliders good. Pistons pushed back easy. Someone musta taken good care of this van!

Silly question, but have you compared your caliper and bracket to that of a 4.4 XLE or Adventure? They used larger brakes like your 4.3 V6...
