Unlike people putting 17" wheels onto the smaller brakes (seems they need to help the outboard side of the caliper) my problem area is the ends. In my case, they are 17" wheels from a 2019 Tacoma.

You are wasting your time IMO. I had a top mechanic work on an old caliper up on the lift off a 2005 SR5 and it took hours, and he failed, and said get him a new one.
Here's what I got at Amazon for $68. Fit perfectly.
With calipers, new or remanufactured is the way to go.

it's been working a year now. He did a total brake job. Old caliper was 15 years old.
