Default caliper bolt broke

As I was putting back the caliper on its frame I over tightened the bolt and it broke. Does anyone know where I can a new one? Should I just go to Home Depot and bring one and match it up?

Don't use a bolt form Home Depot. The bolts you find there will not have the strength to survive under braking conditions.

You can buy one at autozone for like $6 so so, although they have to order them. Pricey for a bolt, but worth not having another one break. Otherwise, go to the dealership and pick one up.

Your dealer should have them in stock.
