Default RE: brake calilber bolt thead size

I had the same thing happen to me on my 94. The size is a 9mm by 1.25 pitch. This is a rare size, and I had to do a bit of looking to find the Helicoil set. I finally found it at Oreilly auto parts for $42.00. Then I had to find a size D drill bit.Again, more searching and ordering. Whatever you do, don't use one of the HELP brand caliper studs. They will cut new threads in the spindle that will leave you with too large of hole if you ever wind up here again.
