Curvy Rear Caliper Thread Question
Can someone tell me if it is just one half (inside) or both half’s of the caliper body that is threaded for the caliper joining bolts?
The reason I’m asking is as I need to strip mine down one of the joining bolts has rounded. So planning an attack. My intention is to drill the head off then remove the other joining bolt and that should allow me to separate it as I believe that the caliper half’s are only threaded on the inner side. I will then be able to remove the remaining stud before rebuilding. However if there is thread on the outer side of the caliper half, suggestions please? |

Re: Curvy Rear Caliper Thread Question
Only one side is threaded, unless my memory has entirely fried itself.

Re: Curvy Rear Caliper Thread Question
It'll only be the one side. If both sides were threaded you'd not be able to use the bolt to draw the two halves together.
