Need help sourcing a SS 1LE caliper bridge pin bolt replacement
I need some help in sourcing a part. Posting here because track rats will have best shot of having similar problem to me:
My front caliper bridge pin screw (the small male bolt that screws into the black, thick, female, bridge pin; you know, the bolt you have to remove before you can remove the front pads) is getting rounded off from all the times I've removed and reinstalled it to rotate/swap pads. I went searching for an OEM bolt, but all I can find is a front caliper pin kit that includes the bolt in question plus a bunch of stuff I don't need for 1 front corner (bridge pin, 2 thin silver friction fit pins, and the anti-rattle clip) for $80-100. See wildhammer item here: https://wildhammermotorsports.com/16...in-kit-general motors/sku=25940448&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=196063297 84&gclid=CjwKCAjwyb3DBhBlEiwAqZLe5MKTW2sb0ZN2oJU2I rft7M2wcWNpbmydw8MkR1ZPcQ7itRhLVFybGhoCjnsQAvD_BwE It seemed insane to pay $80 for a bolt, so I bought a similar (but not identical) kit on Amazon for $27 that included parts for both front corners. Unfortunately, though the bolt of interest had the proper threads and fit OK, it had red thread-locker pre-applied and getting that bolt out the next time, even with an inductive heater, proved to be a real PITA. And on top of that the head on the bridge pin is slightly narrower than OEM, so head wants to try to turn when you are trying to remove the bolt from the back. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007QBMO6Y...fed_asin_title Does anybody know a way to just buy the OEM bolt, alone, without the "kit", preferably without the red-threadlocker on it? |
