so was planning on doing my brake pads and rotors today on the rear and thats when the nightmare ensued..

both calipers are shot.. need to replace both, pepboys is fine right?

i have a stripped bolt wwhat the hell do i do? i cant get a grip on it with a socket or crescent wrench


grrr...

 

Some automotive stores carry rebuilt calipers. There are stripped bolt removers you can buy. It basically is a socket with teeth. Sears has them.

 

please explain more . What bolt is striped? If its the caliper to braket bolt then just buy one at honda dealer or u can buy one from http://www.fastenal.com . Also how do you know the calipers are shot. u can rebuild them alot cheaper then buying new ones. There is rebuild kits available at autozone and stores alike

 

starting off with the stipped bolts, the upper bolt on the brake caliper (pass side) is stripped and on the driver side the upper bolt on the caliper bracket is stripped...

on to the calipers, I know they can be rebuilt but unfortunatly I didn't realize (first time doing the brakes in this car) that there were no rubber seals on the piston resulting in a rusted out piston.. its beyond rebuilding now..

also the guy i talked to said 60 or 70 with the core (didn't here him totally..) what is the core?

 

core = old caliper

 

50.99 each w/ core at my store. where did you get priced at?

 

what store? lol

think mine was 70

 

could someone tell me if itr rear calipers would fit on a del sol?
