Back at it again. Fixed one problem now something else keeps popping up. Now its the brake caliper on the rear. Somehow the freekin brake pads\bolts keeps braking off (pun intended). This happens aevwerytime i go out or every other time. Not sure whats causing this but its a pain in the ass. I managed to walk the grounds of the place where i run and i found at least 5 pieces of brake pads and couple bolts thats to tell you how many of these things ive been thru. And theyre not cheap. Somehow the bolts keep snapping off rendering the caliper unusable. i then have to purchase another caliper set and brake shoes and repeat.
Ive attached some pics below. The bolts that come with the set are precoated with loctite but im not sure why they break off during driving. Please see pics below. As you can see in one of the pics below i tried drilling out the bolts but its not working. Its just creating a bigger hole and the threads are gone. I need to find a way to drill out that tiny bolt without damageing the threads. OR if i can drill it out somehow and then ill have to use a bigger bolt and tap and create new threads. SMH. I dnt know at this point.
Anyone have any idea whats causing this and what i can do to salvage the calipers i have with the bolts broken off in them?? Better yet what i can do to stop it from happening in the first place?
Thanks
