Broke Caliper Bolt

Checked my break pads, Put the caliper back down screwed in the bolt and over torqued and broke the bolt. Caliper is still holding. Best thing to do? Thanks.

get yourself a drill and some screw extractors. you might have to remove the knuckle to get to comfortably. worse case scenerio, replace the knuckle.

Re: Broke Caliper Bolt (philosofy1)

Got extractor, I couldnt get it my dad broke the harden steel extractor in the middle of the screw. So i decided to just get an impact wrench for $50 and new caliper brakets.
