hopefully its only a matter of putting some vice grips on it and some heat to twist it out. drilling out might be a bit over is or his friends head if they were calling it a banjo bolt. (No offense brakes as u might know are a bit of a safety issue) it's not a difficult job per say more or less time consuming and if you dont have the right bits or experience the job can go south pretty quick. it can go from simply needing a bolt and helicoil to needing a knuckle. with that said removing rusted/siezed bolts is what makes a mechanic a mechanic and is an valuable skill to know.

no offense taken whatsoever. this issue was discovered during a complete axle swap. I had just scored a 95 w 216k on it on CL for 640 bucks that was listed for a 'parts shell' that I proceeded to swap the 8.25s on it onto my 91, the more built of the now 2 xjs, leaving the craptastic on the new grocery getter. I do have the time, can get bits, but just have never done it. not one to run away from problems...I look at vehicles and wrenching as they are nothing more than big models...

This,^, I was thinking, and it still may be the case, that the bolt is broken flush, and you can't get on it with vise grips. If there is enough to do so, then vise grips, and some heat on the knuckle. If you have never drilled a bolt to get it out, then you would be better off pulling the knuckle and taking it to a machine shop, or mechanic to have it removed........RR

thats definetly the right attitude, do your research and good luck, if you can handle an axle swap then you should be able to handle this. again patience is key here.

Lol banjo bolt. Those should never seize, they float in brake fluid!

That caliper bolt though I've had a snapped one before. If you can get it woth vise grips you're set. Otherwise be careful drilling it out, they're hardened steel and will eat bits if you aren't careful.


Hmm I was going to post a photo of me doing exactly that but I can't find it. Oh well.

Finally got around to looking closer and taking pics. you can see the right side has a rubber grommet thingy and the left doesnt, note all the slack.

couldnt figure out how to upload pics so heres a google drive link.

Have you confirmed its broke might just be rubber missing and pads are worn more on that side which will expose more collar ? Either way boots probably along withe plastic sleeves need to be replaced and anti seized put on.

OK, so I see now my 'freinds' advice and language was wrong. what I read and see it is the 'caliper bolt and slide' which both easily came right out. is this a replaceable part?
