The bracket you're talking about is the one in the upper LH corner of the pic below right? I didn't have a tap to fit the hole or time to go get one, and the bolt is holding just fine. I drilled mine out and put a slightly smaller bolt through the hole with a nut/lock washer on the other side. I broke mine off when I did my brakes on the '97 (it's got a good amount of rust). Also they were very noisy when cold.Īs far as the bolt on that bracket holding the line to the spindle. Maybe consider throwing some paint on 'em.Īlso, those EBC Ultimax are SUPER DUSTY! I put those on the Supra during the brake job I mentioned above and they would cover the wheels in dust within a week. They actually looked pretty nasty behind the wheels. I put them on my Supra a while back and they were covered in rust after just a damp night. I'm so jealous of you SW guys who don't have to deal with stuff like this!įirst as LittleCeasar said, those Brembos are good rotors but the top hats get rusty QUICK. I definitely need to flush and bleed the brakes though.after I tackle the drums. I guess I'm lucky the caliper bolts didn't snap off while removing them.Īnyway, Everything went back together fine, and I used anti-seize on the pad pins. Damn rust and corrosion! It makes working on this truck such a pain in the ass.

Took about 2 hours to get the passenger side top pin out (the bottom came out relatively easily), and about 1/2 hour to get each of the driver side pins out. I bent a few drifts (cheapos), and ended up improvising with some same-size hardened bolts to use as drifts. I had to soak them in Blaster many times, while bashing them in and out with a big hammer and drift. Any suggestions for getting these out? Just drill?Īlso, I had some pretty major trouble with the brake pad pins not wanting to come out.

Not sure when I'll get back to that.but the zip ties seem to be holding just fine. I didn't feel like drilling them out, so I just left them, and zip-tied the brackets back to the spindle after I was done. I tried turning that with a vise grips, but of course neither one budged. There is about 1/4' of threads sticking out the back side. While trying to remove the bracket that holds the brake line to the spindle, the bolt on both sides snapped off.

I had a free day yesterday, so I got it done.but not without some trouble (of course.because these things never go as planned). What would you be doing in the situation? I have my local shop on call as a absolute worst case scenario.I've been sitting on new Brembo (OEM replacement) rotors and EBC Ultimax pads for a few months now. I’m willing to buy an extractor set and drill bits and go to town, If that’s the best possible solution for this issue. So what I’m asking is what would be the best possible attack on this without damaging any threads or the caliper bracket or anything like that? So as I stand now, I can’t get the rotor or caliper bracket off to replace the parking brake hardware and shoes because I can’t get the caliper bracket bolt out to remove the caliper and the bracket So far so good but the last bolt of the job, a 14 mm caliper bracket bolt snapped as I was tightening it down … I could only think because I was getting tired and I decided to put a extension pipe on the tool and it gave me way too much leverage. I was going to work in steps, do all the brakes first then re-attack the rear parking brakes a day or two later. Long story short I upgraded the brakes rotors pads and was going to replace all the hardware/shoes in the parking brake system.
