Hello, so Ive got a VY wagon that was shuddering. Put new front rotors and pads on but when I went to tighten the last caliper bolt it threaded. I noticed it had different looking bolts to the other side eg. different colour and thick washers (drivers side didn't have washers). I am guessing it might have been helicoiled (or similar) previously. I cut the washer off and put a thin one on, along with a bit of Loctite and this gave me a bit of temporary purchase.
Do I drill it again and re-helicoil it, just try and put a new coil in it or something else ?
I haven't used helicoils before so if I buy a set, does anyone know what size I need and also the size of the bolts which I might need to replace.
Any help much appreciated.
Ps It was the large bolt hole that was de-threaded, not the slider bolt hole.
