Brake caliper ?
I broke the bolts off the brake caliper bracket.
Can you buy the bracket holder seperately, or do you have to buy the whole unit?
Thanks!

on an 02 you can buy it seperately. There is an excellent brake mod that allows you to instal 3rd gen brakes, but inorder to do it you need 17inch rims. I'll find a couple posts for ya.

also you should be able to unbolt the bracket and while in a vice drill the broken bolt out, or use a chisel and walk it out, alot of times when the bolt breaks the stress comes off the bolt and it can be spun out with a chisel.
or if you have a mig/welder. you can weld a nut to the broken bolt and 9 outta 10 times it will unscrew easily

Thanks Nick! I have drilled, heated, tried easy outs and cant get it loose. Both bolts on the drivers side and one on passenger side broke. Guess I have to buy both sides. Thanks for the help really appreciate it.
