I was changing rotors and pads today, and while putting everything back together I noticed the bolt hole for the caliper to screw onto the floating caliper is bent.

The little rubber piece the caliper screw goes into was slightly bent, so the caliper will not go back on. Can I get a new one from honda? Or do i have to buy the whole floating caliper assembly?

check http://www.hondapartssource.com and see if you can buy it individually.

Got a pic of the part you mean or anything. Is it on the anchor part of the caliper (that bolts to the spindle) or the floating part?

The hydraulic floating section you can find, but anchors are very difficult to come by except in a scrapyard.

I believe its the anchor that connects to the spindle

it pushes the caliper back out once you let off the brakes


EDIT: the 'anchor' or the big piece of metal that connects to the spindle has 2 bolt holes for the caliper, one of the holes is bent so the caliper will not go on straight.

its the little slider piece with the rubber boot around it

Then go to http://acuraautomotiveparts.org

You'll notice when you go to that site and go to the page with the brake parts that the caliper anchor is not available like I said. I broke one before on my Civic and I searche the world over, you cannot get a new one you have to get one from a junkyard. I found a complete caliper assembly w/anchor for about $35, it was a Civic though not a Teg.

Is this the slide bolt you're talking about, or the mount bolt? If it's the slide bolt, you can get a hardware kit at Napa or CarQuest.

The hole that his slide goes into is bent (so he believes,anyways) so the caliper won't fit back together right...

junk yard defiantly, any new parts supplier will rape you on the parts. My slider pin was bent so badly I couldn't even get it out of the floating part of my caliper.

Or $35-40 for a rebuilt. I picked one up recently.
