My dad and I replaced my front brakes everything went smooth and was a very easy job. One thing we are unsure about is the bolts that go into the calipers. They were hard to get off but went back on so easy that it didn't seem like they were on right. They will just kept tightening. Should they stop and like "lock" into place or are they suposed to keep spinning. Is there a torque specification for these bolts or anything? It's not like they are striped or anything just want to make sure they are good to go. I drove around for about 15-20 minutes braking in the pads and everything thing felt and sounded great. I guess I am just paranoid? Thanks

Um, somethings not 100% right. The threads in the slides are probably stripped. Those 2 bolts should spin until tight (and will stop until you break them smooth off lol)

You car is no exception

lol ok thanks WhiteFox I will check it out!

You just need a slide kit. Should come with new pins, boots, and bolts. Super cheap

put a pair of vise grips or pliers on the back side pins when u put the bolts in or they will both spin together

u dont need a new slide kit, happens all the time

I gave the TS the benefit of the doubt on this 1.

hey whitefox, hope my comment didnt come off sounding like a Dbag, just wanted to make sure he tried that first. Meant no disrespect to you, i just looked at the convo and was thinkin it might have looked like that was directed to you.
