peggers350 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) hey guys in need of some advice, basically i was removing my front calipers to repaint them an who ever fitted them has cross threaded the bolts inside an completley stripped the threads, what are my options if i can get them re threaded or is it just a case of new ones?

scobie140 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 If there's enough meat around the hole you could drill them out and take them up a size. or if there isny enough meat on it to get away with that you could use a heli coil kit to allow you to reuse the oem bolts Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
