long shot..but WTB part near chicago...desperate
 

its for a 1996 nissan maxima


okay well this is probably a long stretch but i need to replace my brake caliper on the right rear rear...now the old banjo bolt or as nissan calls it connecting bolt it wont screw in to the new caliper...i did the left side and the bolt fit right in but not the right side...heres where it gets complicated..i need to go back to school on wednesday and school is 6hrs a way so i need the car...i bought one from the dealer but that in itself was a hiatus...long story short if there is anyone near the chicagoland area with one of these and are willing to let it go i will be eternally grateful....its basically the bolt that connects the brake line to the caliper...thanks a lot...



ps mods sorry if this thread will turn up in different areas im desperate

man to bad your not back in mn i could take one off my crashed max. so what your saying here is that your banjo thread is stripped? or the bolt is? if anything if you can get a hold of taps i would just re-tread it(i have had to do this before) gl man

ah yea man...it sucks...i dont know anyone here in chicago that has a max...from what i can see the threading of the bolt is actually messed up so i think thats why...thanks alot for the concern man

so do you have to leave by wendsday? if anything you could send me 5 bucks paypal and ill ship you it usps monday

yeah i have to leave by wednesday...its my girlfriends and i's aniversary on thursday...so yeah you know how that is...how much do you think itll be overnight?

Hey,

Why don't you check the local junk yards? There's a couple near you, I know of one for sure in Melrose Park that has one. PM me your # and I'll give you a call.

melrose park as in victory auto?

Nah, Victory Auto is in Bensenville, maybe they have one too...not sure though.

-PM sent

Why don't you just go pick one up at your local parts store?

yes, go buy a new caliper? I don't see the huge issue here.

hmmm someone wasnt reading here lol...jk

i did buy a new caliper the problem is the old banjo bolt wont fit into the new one...

yo stop by U Pull It near North (64) ave and Cicero...we got a few 4th gens there including a white 96... I actually got spare bolts from my old calipers which didnt fit the new ones as well.

well everything is all sorted out now...i returned the new calipers i bought and bought one from a napa and the bolt fit right in

There ya go
