Getting a bolt extracted from a Brembo Caliper

[Intel]

So my buddy's wrx I posted before had a snapped off bolt in one of the aluminum calipers. All I want somebody to do is drill it out and timesert it and that is it.

Advanced engine rebuilders has had it for 3 weeks and it still isn't fixed. Opel wouldn't touch it. Who else can I bring it to that will actually fix it and get it done in like a day? Near Palatine is preferred.

Picture?

I don't have one.. Imagine a front right brembo rotor with about an inch of a snapped off bolt attached to it.

I don't see why that would be so difficult to remove

It isn't this shop basically just got to it this week. Dropped it off 3 weeks ago with a timesert kit and the brembo. And just been a string of excuses/backlog/ no calls back etc.

Sick of this car sitting in my driveway.

Just figure there has to be some shop where I can drop it off and get this done in a reasonable amount of time.

If it's in the mounting ear a Heli-coil might not be the best thing. It also depends on if the bolt was cross threaded, or just corroded and seized. I've fixed worse. I'm not that close to you tho.

Wasn't cross threaded just the whole steel bolt and aluminum caliper. They decided to have crazy different metal love and bonded.

Tons of people seem to have timeserted (did I just make that a verb?) them.

I really don't care about driving to elgin I just want the pos done at this point.

id bet most are afraid of destroying your 300+$ caliper/chipping/damaging the finish and the resulting liability for a 100$ job

find a local small machine shop, tell em you give no fucks and have cash, and they'll clamp it in the vice and drill it out

 

[Intel]

The caliper already looks like shit/chipped and turned brown etc. Guess I will hit the yellow pages and see.

Heat the bitch up, drill it and easy out it. Ain't that hard.



Where you at?

 

[bikrboy128]

Yeah, where are you at? Sounds like a 30 min job to me.

 

[PER]

I am in plainfield but should be to turn it around in a day 815-254-2333
