 Okay guys, remember how this bolt broke off? I Managed to drill it out. I tried with heat did not work They don't want to heat it too much. They don't want to melt The rubber seal inside the caliper But it did get a hot and not as probably not as hot as it did on the track But anyways, they want to overdo it. So that's why I Switched to drilling and now what we got to do is make new threads and Install a helicoil, but before we do that. There's something I want to Talk about. All right. So before me I Got a helicoil kit Which is for an M10 1.5 thread size I'm gonna take one out. I've never used these before but I wanted to Stay with the same size bolt for both calipers the front also stripped the rear broken stripped The front just stripped I managed to take the bolt out the bolt is fine I can reuse it, but the caliper ear is not okay. So anyway, this is how it looks This helicoil basically it's still the same thread 1.5 on the inside 1.5 on the outside just Threads in the helicoil will thread in into the caliper But took me a bit to figure out exactly what size this tap is Now I was asking a bunch of guys at Napa or looking online Nobody could tell me what the actual tap size It is For the outside diameter of the helicoil They all said it's it's a 10 1.5 oversized Okay, I don't want to be getting you know a new tap if I have a set So I thought okay, it's got to be an odd size so but I did order The whole set just to see because I didn't want to make the hole too big or too small too big actually if I made it too small and I would just drill it out again But they didn't want to make it too big But this is what I've noticed. I hope you can see this This says M10 1.5 Which is the actual bolt size The actual original bolt size that goes into the caliper But as you can see This is bigger the bolt size is 0.38 Let's call it let's call it a 0.38 But the tap size Is a 0.47. So obviously it's bigger. So obviously it's not really a an M10 1.5 I'll tell you what it is. This is an M12 1.5 Check it out 0.46 9 call it. Let's say it's a 4.0 or 0.47 Yeah, let's reset 4.4 0.46 9 0.47 1 Not much of a difference, huh? 0.47 0.47 exactly the same What do you know? And this one says M12 by 1.5 If you can't see you can trust me on this This is an M12 1.5 M10 1.5 Yeah, this should say M12 1.5. So it's basically two sizes over Then the actual bolt So let's measure the helicoil 0.475 So I had the tap didn't really have to buy the whole set with the tap and a bit actually a bit This bit came with it, which is nice So so all this came together as a set But I also need a M12 1.5 and I bet you The tip the tap size is an M14 1.5, which I already have that's why I didn't order a kit But I wanted to check it out with this one This is a nice tool you could get away with using small needle nose pliers Wonder if I should use thread locker on this Think I'm going to very little She doesn't want to come out. I'll just go through and this Punch is to knock out a little piece In the back. Well, that didn't work too well did it? There we go. It should be okay Caliper is fixed. Okay guys. I Suspected the M12 1.5 that's the front caliper bolt. It is point four six four the helicole This I just bought a set or a set of helicole's not the whole set the tool set just the helicole's There is let's see there's six of them inside so the width of the M12 1.5 helicole is Point five eight. Okay So since this is a M12 1.5 and The rear caliper bolt was an M10 1.5 and we needed a tap Which was M12 1.5? So since this is an M12 for the front. I bet you all we needed as an M14 1.5. Let's see. Where is it? M14 1.5 So the diameter of the M14 tap is point five five three coil Point five five eight five seven so five set the scolera five eight five eight Versus a five five three Which is okay because this will it will get smaller see how it's like a spring Once it goes in it's gonna get a little bit smaller. So let's actually let's try it. Let's squeeze it point five seven eight And this was point five five Yeah, see it's it's pretty loose Yeah, this is way too loose So we'll have to happen we're about to twist it So the threads of the bolt and the helicole get closer together Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is gonna be a This tap the M14 tap is gonna work I'm not even gonna I was gonna test it out on something else drill a hole and and just tap it and Test this helicole, but I'm not I'm 100% positive. This is gonna work. I should have been measuring all this in millimeters Not inches so tap 14 bolt 118 helicole outside It's probably 14. This is the front caliper Helicole is in like I said, it did fit no issues there, but I am not too happy about it because kind of I Think when I was drilling With the drill bit, I don't think the bit went straight in evenly, I think I Was holding the drill a bit too low And I ended up drilling in a slight angle consider the threads are Tiny bit deeper on top than on the bottom. That's why this thing the helicole came out But the bolt goes in all the way so it should be okay. I hope
