Ok i replaced my brake pads today. What a nightmare, i only got one wheel.. I broke the bolt on the caliber. The one on the bottom to release it and lift it up to get to the pads. Dont know what im gonna do about that. Also i was trieing to remove the caliber to put on new rotors, and i cant get those bolts out of the back.

Any ideas, suggestions, price to get them replaced professionally, all 4?

you have to get the two bolts that hold the caliper to the caliper frame then there is two bolts that hold the caliper frame to the spindle. the caliper frame has to come off and replace the caliper frame off of a junk yard part. and depending on the bolt where it snaped should not need another caliper.....if you need info on the rotor let me know...and i'll get back to ya >>

well you think i could tap out the bolt and replace it? My main concern is switching out my rotors.

you can try drilling it out and tap it out to the same size

what do u mean by broke the bolt? did the head come off or did u strip it? you should have tried wd40 and banging it loose. the bolts in the back are a pain in the ass. they are very hard to get loose. i used a mini sledge hammer with my wrench. also you could try a locking wrench if theres a nub to grip.

I used WD-40 and i banged my wrench with a rubber mallot. Oh i broke the bolt free just fine, i cracked the bolt in half...hee hee

Going to the shop tommorrow to have them do it. So much easier...


Thanks for the help though
