Stripped caliper bleed hole

dts3

This is my current situation in case anyone is wondering





The threads on the rusty bolt are wet because it was failing to hold pressure before I put the Teflon tape on it. It sealed perfectly after that, but I did not take a picture.

On a side note...
Those streams of brake fluid sat on the caliper for a day and wiped off the powder coat immediately with Dawn and water. It didn't etch/eat the powder coat like some people say it does to paint, so I'm happy about that

You send it to Rusty & it’ll be good as new...a heli-coil is stronger than the aluminum, but if for some reason that you’ve cracked the caliper...then would probably need another one, or 1/2 one to build back up to spec

When he offered to fix mine above I assumed he was being sarcastic because he did it after the "angry face" lol

You was clear on what you needed. That's why the

The torque values are based on dry and wet threads. The torque values for the caliper bolts ain't that high. I forgot what I torqued mine too. I have it written down someplace, but where? You know what the bolt diameter is?
