problem changing rotors My 02 WS6 was chattering really bad when braking so decided to change the rotors on the front. After changing the rotors on the front and the problem was not fixed I decided to change the rear rotors. I got down to the last caliper bracked bolt on the last rotor that I was changing and being the lucky person that I am completely rounded the head of the bolt off. What the hell do they do soak these bolts in lock tight before putting them in. So now I have three new rotors on my car and one old one (oh and by the way my car still chatters when breaking) So either the rotors are not causing the car to chatter when breaking or the one rotor that I could not get off is the warpped one. My question is how the hell do I get this bolt off. The top one is loose I just rounded off the bottom bolt head. I have tried everything I can think of and after getting my *** beat for numerous hours I gave up. Can anyone give me any advice on what to do other than bringing it to a mechanic. Anyones help wil be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I just had the same thing happen a couple of months ago.
For the bolt - head to Sears and get some of these: (they also sell them in smaller packages) http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...+Taps+%26+Dies
The bolt that connects the caliper bracket to the plate can be had at your local dealer. It is part number 10229606 and will probably run you around $7-8 for a set of 4 bolts. If you have time, I can also send you one of the extras I have.
