  1. 5. Hex head 8mm -- 1 25 x 50 mm bolt. What is this? I can find many 1.25 X 50mm bolts, and I can find bolts with 8mm heads. Am I missing something obvious here? Edit - yes the obvious I was missing was the decimal place I didn't see. Anyhow, this guide worked well for the rear driver side. On the passenger side, I stripped the caliper bolts. I bought the recommended tool from Canadian Tire, that worked to get the lower bolt out, but it stripped the upper bolt completely. We tried spraying it with Deep Clean, we tried heating the assembly with a propane torch and then a nat gas torch, and finally we gave up and cut the bolt. With the bolt cut I could remove the brake calipers, but I am unable to pull what should be the smooth part of the bolt out. Seems to be seized in pretty good. The caliper bracket is still attached to the hose, I am going to have to take that off and then work on the bolt with a vice and pipe wrench. I ordered a remanufactured brake caliper from autopartswarehouse.ca, which was 200 Canadian, which is still a whole lot more than Parts Geek, but parts geek doesn't deliver to Canada. Will see how it goes when the parts arrive.
