Here's the scenario: 94 Del Sol SI
-Right front caliper bolt breaks inside the caliper mounting bracket.
-Tried to cycle heating (MAP gas) and spraying WD-40 to loosen it up.
-Tried drilling and an easy out. Break the drill bit (see next) and strip the easy out.
-Broke the drill bit (titanium bit) drilling a slot for putting a flat head screw driver in.
-Twisted the screw driver shaft and bent badly the tip of the screw driver.
Tried locating locally a new bracket and bolt:
No luck, only 1 junkyard has the 2 pin bracket design. Bought that by mistake, now I have to take back. (I looked and the brackets are quite different)
Any other ideas for getting the damn piece of caliper bolt out?
Anyone have a caliper bolt and mounting bracket they can send me tomorrow Priority mail for a 94 Del Sol SI? (Paypal money tonight?)
On a side note, I am having a very similar problem with the screws that hold on the rotors for the front. I have an impact driver (non powered) and with heating (MAP gas) and oiling with WD-40 also did not help. Any suggestions here?
