Brake boldt sizing help

My brakes sounding like they were grinding , So I discover the rear passanger side was missing a boldt ! After you take the caliper off there is the heavy duty mount that holds the pads . The bottom boldt was somehow missing . Not sheared off or anything , just not there .


I took it to napa , no go . Went to some hardware stores , nothing . It seems to be a 9/16" boldt with an odd course thread .

Any idea what I'm looking for and where I can find one ?


Thank you .

I might be wrong but you should be able to buy a hardware kit from NAPA that includes this bolt. I went through a similar problem two weeks ago on the front passenger caliper.

Are you talking about the slide bolt with the allen head? I just got done replacing my calipers...I can toss one in an envelope if you PM me your address (if you can wait for the couple days transit time)
