Mounting bolt? Wha? What bolt are you talking about? The hub bolt? Get an air hammer.

Re: Bah, i knew at 220k something would go wrong
There are two bolts used to hold the Caliper to the front hub assembly, one of the bolts seems to be stripped, lock-tight wont work on it. and i dont want to buy a new assembly unit for it. Im hoping i can maybe tap it or something, but idk. Any suggestions???

Re: Bah, i knew at 220k something would go wrong
i had the same problem with the caliper bolts on my drivers side on my old 89 cav, go out and buy some high quality locktight..it works if you do it properly i guarantee it.. take out the pins and put a bead of it around the threads, tighten them up as best you can (try not to strip the nut since the locktite will make it near impossiblr to get off) put the tires back on and let it sit for about 1/2 hour to ensure it hardes...thus ends your problem, worked great for me
