i was changing out my rotors and pads(from the excelerate groupbuy).
fronts only...beautiful rotora rotors and pads.
i was so excited.
the right side went smoothly.
i should have suspected something.

i go to the left side and the caliper bracket bolts are seized.
and put big breaker bar on these nuts.
and alot of force.
i finally get them loose.
but unlike the other bolts, they stay tight the whole way out.
the shop that did my rotors last time used that coil thread metal stuff.
helix coil...for stripped bolts.
something like that
both of them.
so now i need a left side caliper bracket.
and i have a rental car.

 

sorry man. i know how much that sucks. i needed a new caliper about 2 months ago and was stuck driving my brother's 97 grand prix beater while i waited for autozone to get it in.

SSTS

 

advance auto parts is getting the part sunday morning.
about 40.00 dollars cheaper than Acura.
both were giving me remanufactured.
oh well.
