Problem replacing rear pads taday (1990 Q45)

[071990Q45]

While changing the rear pads today, one of the rear caliper bolt/pins sheared off! Where do I get replacement pins? (This is the 14mm bolt)

Thanks!

Probably best off getting one new from the dealership....

They will overnight. How are your emergency brake shoes? Do you have a shim kit on hand in case you need it?

did the remnants of the pin come out of the caliper mount? I have used stuff (including calipers and mounts) from when i did the rear brake upgrade to jy32/fy33 style.let me know if you need it.

Unfortunately not. The remnant of the pin/bolt is still in the mount. I definately would need some. (Plural because it happened to the other side as well!) Calipers are fine. The mounts are what I need for the rear.

Thanks,

Sam

I got one of my Q's with a bolt of the wrong thread used to hold one of my front calipers in place. It was impossible to just get the right bolt size and strength. I ended up buying a whole caliper from the junkyard just to get the right bolt.

I would't use something that looks like it fits for the pin, I would make sure to get the exact right one.

Sam- got your e-mails. i'm confused. you want just the pin bolts (which? I would *guess* the metal to metal ones, not the sleeved ones)?but if the broken pin-stud is still in your caliper mount, how are you going to get that out? if it doesn;t come out easy, you might just want to buy the whole enchilada. I'll sell you complete/california only (i.e. no excessive rust)/not leaking rear calipers/pins/mounts (both sides) for $45 shipped USPS flat-rate priotiy (must be lower 48). you would want to buy a caliper kit at minimum and change out all the rubber to protect your investment.

let me knowJay
