Part # 1/2 in the middle. Looks like the two bolt holes on the left of it are what the caliper attaches to. Just confirming.

He used his super human strength and over tightened it.

No, I'm gonna wait till next weekend. My Dad has a 1/2" tap that I can borrow. Too cheap to go buy one.
Haven't test fit the intake manifold BUT I did finally get my custom CAI all buttoned down. Took some pics last night. I'll post tonight.

Woops, guess I should have gotten to this earlier.
Last night I was coming out of my development with my son and I hear this god-awful scraping noise. Uh oh, I had a feeling I knew what it was.
Get out and look and the bolt that I couldn't tighten was gone
The caliper had moved and was now rubbing against the inside of the wheel (thank god they were my stockers).
Well I spent the last few hours of daylight trying to get it fixed.
1) Remove caliper
2) Drill out old bolt holes
3) Tap new threads for new 1/2" bolt
4) Remove rotor to drill out knuckle (had to drill out the screws - my impact driver did nothing to help)
5) Button everything back up
Overall, took me about 1.5 hours. Not bad. Drives good as new.

I was sweating like a pig trying to get the damn screws holding the rotor off.
My son is outside yelling at me, "Daddy don't bang on the car" as I'm hitting the screw with the impact driver.
