i was trying to bleed the calipers and then the bolt snapped and after i took out te remainder of the bolt the thread inside the caliper totally messed up...
i can take the caliper to the machine shop and the new threads machined, but then i dont know where to find a new bolt that would fit into the hole cuz after i machine it the whole would be at least a little biggger.
any suggestions??

 

i would have to get a new caliper???? i hope not.....
i know the machine shop can enlarge the hole but then i have to find a larger bleeder bolt to fit into it... anyone know what kind of cars have bigger bleeder bolts so i can machine the hole according the that bolt???

 

Heli-coil!

Get it drilled out, rethreaded for a heli-coil. Problem solved and original bleeder used.

 

what is a helr coil????
and i would wanna know where i can get the original bleeder... cuz the thread on the original bleeder is done too

 

bleeder: auto parts store
heli-coil: auto parts store.
Every mechanic , millwright and everyone in the trade knows what a heli-coil is. Ask your favorite one of them to show you.

 

call up AP racing and tell them what you've done. this isn't something to rig back together.
some companies offer larger bleeder screws as replacements when stuff like this happens.
others say to use heli-coils. others say to TIG weld the hole closed and re-drill it.
others say to send it to them and they will do the repairs.

Call AP before you do anything else on your own.

 

I'm sure there's a tech line he can call for product support.. even if it is overseas.
