hello, let me first identify my problem.
i just recently purchased it and still getting use to the car. I was lookin at the front calipers today and notice there is a gap on the bleeder valve. As stupid as i was, instead of doin some research, i went ahead and attempt to tight it down and thought that it would close the gap. BUT, i was WRONG. the more i turn clockwise, the looser it gets. Next thing i know, brake fluid was shooting out. all treads in the bleeder valve's hole was gone. NOW i'm FUCKed.

anyways, i've been searching everywhere on how to install the front caliper bc looks like i'm gona have to buy new one, but no where to be found. the only thing i've found was the "DYI: brake Pads"

so i was wondering if anyone have experience in these calipers that could lead me to the right direction? will i be able to repair the torn treads? if not, any idea of installation for new caliper?

ANY help will be appreciated.
thanks,

i think i posted in the wrong place. could Mods plz move it to "Problems and Fixes"? thanks

 

Sorry man, that's a pretty careless mistake.

That aside, it's probably possible to get it tapped for a larger bleeder.

Remove the pads.

Remove the brake line, careful not to get the fluid on anything, it eats paint like you won't believe.

Remove the Caliper.

not gona lie, this part scare me quite a bit. but i'm gona try the repair bleeder screw first. i really hope it'll work. thanks for the procedures

 

You don't have to do ALL that. After the pads are out and the brake line disconnected, just look at steps #3 & #4 in the rotor/hub thread. It shows the caliper bolts and brackets. 2 large bolts, 2 small bolts. That's it. Don't even have to remove the rotor (I don't think).

 

i'm really hoping that i don't have to go that far bc it cost a fortune for a new caliper. but again, i might have to

 

UPDATE:
so today, i purchased the bleeder and taped it up like suggested. after multiples problems and struggles, IT WORKS. although it still leak, like 1 water drop, of 6 hrs driving.

tomor, i'm gona take it out again to tape it tighter w/ the seal to completely stop it.

but Thank you all again for leading me to the right directions. everything was helpful and def use some in future
