Dude, you should read my post on this very thing... Click here to read about my woes...
In removing the caliper, I also broke a banjo bolt... I rang Jackson Ford,Devonport and was told they don't stock caliper bolts (caliper guide bolts) for Series1 AU Falcons. I asked what they use if they break one. "We grab any bolt that fits." I asked about the banjo bolt.. Was told by the guy (who obviously stands by the product he sells) that they try not to touch them as they break really easily... Now, you could imagine my panic in trying to find replacement parts, waaaay down here on the convict isle... where everything closes at noon on Saturday, the only thing open on Sunday is Church (and the bottle-o) and on Monday.. you get my point. Eventually, got in touch with a locksmith in East Devonport (Richardson's)... Took the broken parts in. They checked the broken bolt. Was told it was a high-tensile bolt with a standard metric thread - an easy replacement. Had a look at the banjo bolt.. It had a standard metric thread, too.. Earl's make just the thing. Thirty bucks later, I walked out with two banjo bolts and two replacement caliper bolts.. Dude, check a good local hardware shop (not Bunnings or Mitre 10) - They should have a replacement bolt to do the trick... Good luck, dude... BTW... Next time, I'm hitting the whole assembly in WD40 and leaving it for a few hours before I even turn a spanner. |
