stripped thread - turboL - 18 Jan 10
today i was doing the brakes on my new truck when i discovered that the previous owner didnt belive in maintance of any sort. its a 91 chevy 1500 pickup truck with the ifs. the caliper bolts to the spindle, and there is no way to tap it bigger cause it uses a special bolt. so anyone got any ideas on how to fix this

Helicoil? Not the greatest fix when you're talking about brakes, but someties the only option.
