brake caliper bracket stripped! help...
Ok I found the issue I was having before..a bolt was broken and completely gone from the caliper bracket on the steering knuckle and the holes are stipped so I can't put the caliper back on properly. Has anyone else had this problem? Should I just replace the knuckle. If so can I leave the hub attached? And how far should the piston stick out?

You have to pull the hubs to swap the knuckle. A lot of guys have gotten helicoils to repair the stripped holes. They cost around $15 a pop. I just got a new knuckle from the junkyard. Cost me $10 and a little time pulling it.
