Jer Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Hello! I'm hoping to get a chance to install my new Extreme+ front brakes and Eradispeed +2 rears in a week or two. I'd like to install the calipers with fresh bolts. Can anyone point me toward a source? Fordparts.com and other sites haven't been much luck thus far. Thanks!

6-Speed Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Have you tried your local Ford dealer parts department? Or you can email or call Tousley or SilverState Ford Parts. http://www.tousleyfordparts.com/ http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/index.cfm?siteid=214290 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2010KonaBlueGT Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Hello! I'm hoping to get a chance to install my new Extreme+ front brakes and Eradispeed +2 rears in a week or two. I'd like to install the calipers with fresh bolts. Can anyone point me toward a source? The first question I have is...why do you feel you need to change them? Were they run dry? Rusty? If you keep them lubed they don't normally wear much, if at all. Run them dry and that's another story altogether. I have *always* got the caliper pins from the dealer. Didn't matter what brand of car, it was a dealer item. Heck, I can't even think of a aftermarket source for them.... For the pin lube, go to NAPA and get a tube of silicone lube (grease). I bought a tube back when I was still working (YEARS ago) and I still have it today (point is, it'll last you forever). Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to clarify, these were for the fronts, they were not caliper pins, they were the stationary caliper mounting bolts, no moving parts... I wanted a fresh set because I suspected the originals might have been stripped a little. They had gone in kind of rough when I switched to Brembos... When I pulled them out to install the Baers, I learned that they were fine, just some excess dried Loctite in the caliper's threads I had missed. To answer my OWN question for anyone who needs them, the pic below shows the part number. I got them from Hector at Team Ford here in Vegas...

cloud9 Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 I was just looking at the service manual because I plan to swap the rotors on my new Boss and it says to discard and replace these bolts. I've just been using blue loctite on them when swapping rotors. Why does Ford say to replace them when swapping rotors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2010KonaBlueGT Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Why does Ford say to replace them when swapping rotors? It's called "CYA". Cover Your ASS...it's Fords way of not getting sued because someone over torqued them 2 times back. It is common practice with large corps. such as FoMoCo/GM/etc. Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
