Hey guys,

I took off my rear passenger's side bracket and caliper assembly the other day, to check my breaks and my bearings (which were both fine). With my luck the damn bolt (one is a hinge bolt you dont need to remove) broke off inside the caliper / brake bracket :(.

I tried to drill + Easy out the bolt, got some of it out but now theres some drill bit and bolt still stuck in there (not the easy out)... Im thinking it might be easier at this point to just get a new bracket but autozone only sells the front bracket.

Can I get the part from a dealership or someone else? Its this part but for the rear passenger wheel.

Thanks in advance
 
Thanks, guess ill have to pick one of those up if I cant buy a bracket
 
LOL thanks man I appreciate it, I hate easy outs I think its mangled beyond repair now
 
Thanks for all the help, thankfuly the aircraft mechanic I know brought it to work and was able to get the piece of drill bit along with the rest of the bolt out without ruining the threads (no idea how he did it; it looked aweful when I gave him it). So im all set :).

Thanks again,
Ozo
