Hey all.

This is in reference to my '97 Tib FX with 190K. It's still kicking and I want to keep her, but don't want to dump a bunch of cash on a new caliper.

I was doing the simple job of swapping brake pads, and ended up snapping the head off one bolt that holds the caliper guide rod so I could swing out the caliper. Well, I cut a slot in it, heated it up good, used liquid wrench and all that stuff, and I can't get the bolt out. 190K miles and 12 New England winters have fused that sucker in there. I don't want to buy a new caliper, mostly since I can't afford it. Anyone know where I could find just the guide rod/bolt? Or...anyone got an old screwed up caliper, or guide rod and bolt to spare? I'd gladly pay you a few bucks for it. Tried the junkyards - they will only sell me the whole caliper.

Thanks to all in advance!

Dear twistd,

Both Autozone and O'Reilly's/Checker can sell you a guide rod, to replacement nuts bolts, and springs, all the way to a loaded caliper set.
