Title: Caliper carrier woes
Post by: absolute on October 08, 2016, 04:35:02 pm

Hello

So I removed my front caliper carrier, it wasn't much of an issue at all, however the f*cker won't go back on now.

Inspecting the carrier the offending bolt is seriously stretched - no idea how this might have happened with a simple removal process.

Looked at the carrier aswell the thread is fairly f*cked - could probably force the issue but i'd rather get a new carrier set.

Anyone got any lying about?? There a nightmare to find, I wonder of the stealers have any

Thanks in advance..

So anyway, sorted this thanks to @MateyGuv (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=7486), but will probably refresh them..

I bought all the other replacements bolts for front and rears but not these. Daft I am.  :stupid:
