Hi everyone, I was doing my front brakes yesterday, pads and rotors. I broke the calioer brackets 18mm bolts on the driver side. I've ordered a new one but I was wondering if any of you had an idea how to get them out or if you had a spare brackets or bolts around for sale. Pic below. Thanks!

 

1. weld on a nut and turn it out
2. drill and ez-out ( probably won't work )
3. drill CENTERED out to the threads and re-tap

 

Option #2 is good, use a reasonably large EZout, apply penetrating oil and/or some heat, not too much heat.
Option #3 is tricky to do as you have to be on the centre line all the way through.

 

For sure. It wouldn't hurt to own a Bridgeport, or just take it to a machine shop and pay the price.
