what to do (brake problems)
ok so i installed a front locker this week and went over all the bolts again today to tighten them up again and found a caliper bolt about to fall out. from what it looked like the threads holding the bolt in stripped out. is there a easy fix for this?

not really..... depending on the year the axle was made.... the old old ones (like 86) had a removable caliper bracket that bolted to the knuckle.... but all the newer knuckles have the caliper mount in the cast already.... so prolly a new knuckle
