OK, went to start installing the Cobra front brakes yesterday and the front caliper bolts stripped very easily. I hadn't even tried heat yet to get them out as I always try brute force first. So now I have 3 problems.

1. I need new Caliper bolts (what size are these and what grade please).
2. Where can I get these? Would ford still supply them or should I be looking at a hardware store?
3. Are the factory ones loctited in there (ie will heat release them) or should I jsut cut them off with a dremel?

i got my bolts at Pepboys. Comes in a little kit has the bolt and the thing for the other side the tube like thing. But mine are still the stock calipers. Dont know if theres a difference in bolt sizes but i'm sure they should have the one for a cobra if there is


Oh and you can use vise grips or a pipe wrench to get them out don't remember if i used heat on them ones not sure how good that would work around the fluid

Called the dealer. he said the P/N is 805-163-S100 and they are $8 each... this seems wrong to me... Any thoughts?

The ones I got were like 13 or so and like I said that was for a kit so 8 could be possible.

You get the old ones out yet?
