I started on what I thought would be a quick brake pad/rotor change job only to find myself battling the very first bolt I tried to loosen. I got one out successfully, only to find that it had been covered in Threadlocker Blue. The next one I was not so lucky with, and stripped trying to remove.

So, I need a set of at least two caliper bolts for a 1996 Mustang GT. These are the bolts that hold the caliper bracket.

Thanks,

lol i have the exact same problem, mine are stripped to hell. i dont have to do a brake job yet but when i do, i'd like to know how u got them out. lmk man thanks

 

Didn't know that factory used any thread locker on the bolts! Oh well, makes it a bit tougher to remove.

I'll call the dealer, but I don't want to pay an exorbitant amount for a bolt.

 

Got the bolt from the dealer. $8.15 for one stupid bolt!!! Oh well.

And markzeronine, I am taking out the stripped bolt with a bolt-out kit from Sears like this: Craftsman Bolt-Out™
