Need help Brake job on a 2013 Camaro 2LS.
I'm trying to replace the front rotors and pads on my V6 2013 Camaro 2LS.
I've read on here and have seen YouTube videos that say that you have to replace the caliper bracket bolts and the caliper slide bolts because they are torque to yield. Can somebody confirm that I need to replace them on my model Camaro? I went to two dealerships by me and they have both said no and in the parts department they said that if they needed to be replaced that it would say so when they looked the up. I'm new to the 5th Gen Camaro and to the board but not to Camaro's. I've owned Camaros all my life. Thanks, Chris |

I didn't replace any of those bolts when I changed the rotors and pads in my LS.

I too have replaced my pads and rotors and reused the old bolts. I've done that on several vehicles and from what I've seen here everybody here has differing opinions. The bolts are inexpensive if you want to do it absolutely the correct way, but I'm not worried about my situation

Chris, as others have stated, you will find different opinions regarding the caliper bolts. HOWEVER.... the two dealerships that you went to and were told they did not have to be changed is WRONG! These bolts are "torque to yield" and Chevrolet has them as being changed with each use. If folks don't want to change them and they feel comfortable with that then so be it. My self I always try to use OEM parts and if the bolts are torque to yield bolts then I will spend the few extra dollars and change them. Good luck and Merry Christmas.
