There is a tool called a bolt remover that can be used to get the bole out. A hole is drilled in the middle of the bolt then the tool is inserted and turned to back the bolt out.
* Lift truck using your floor jack (use jack stands for safety) * Remove rim * Remove bottom bolt on caliper using 3/4 inch socket * Loosen top bolt on caliper using 3/4 inch socket * Now pull caliper and it should swing up * Remove old brake pads by pulling ( Only your fingers needed ) * Install new brake pads * Grease back side of brake pads with your choice brake grease * Compress pistons with piston comressor ( I bought mine at an auto part store for $8.00) * Pull caliper back over brake pads * Screw in bottom bolt and tighten * Tighten top bolt * Put your rim back on * Follow same instructions for other side * Drink your favorite beer
get a tap and die set and follow the instructions.
For the front I believe a 15/16 socket will work. The rear I used a 7mm Allen wrench
You need to use a Caliper compresser to force the Caliper piston back to home. All it is is a piece of 10mm flat plate with a nut welded to it and a long bolt. When doing this keep a eye on your brake fluid level and empty it a bit if needed, otherwise you will get brake fluid on the paint in the engine bay.
You will need a metric Allen wrench (7 mm).Jack up passenger side and place jack stand. Remove wheel. Take a screwdriver and work it in between brake pad and rotor. Once done, apply steady pressure on brake pad until you push the caliper piston as far in (toward engine) as it will go. You will need to remove caliper bolts. They are on the back of the caliper at top and bottom. Place Allen wrench in each bolt and turn wrench towards front of vehicle to remove. Once removed, remove caliper with brake pads inside. Match new brake pads with old and put new pads in like you removed the old pads. Place new pads and caliper back on vehicle and replace caliper bolts. If caliper and new pads do not slide easily back in place,you may need to get a large c-clamp and push piston back in caliper a little more. After you get caliper back on and tightened, get in car and pump your brake pedal until it is hard to push. This resets the brake pads. Replace wheel and your done!!
Take the caliper to a machine shop and have the broken bolt removed or just replace the caliper. If you do not understand the bolt sizing, you are not equipped to retap the caliper.
The size of the bolt needed for the brake caliper depends on the specific make and model of the vehicle. It is important to consult the manufacturer's specifications or a professional mechanic to determine the correct size bolt for the brake caliper.
.The 2000 Chevrolet Monte Carlo brake caliper bolt size is 9/16. The brake caliper bolt can be purchased at most auto-parts stores
The standard brake caliper bolt size for a typical car model is usually M10x1.25.
The Rear Caliper Bottom Bolt head size is 12 mm. The Top bolt is enclosed only making it a slide bolt therefore you cant and really have no need to remove it. So the only bolt you should remove is the bottom 12mm head bolt. Then there will be a 14mm bolt that will hold the Emergency Brake Cable Bracket to the Caliper. Loosen this bolt and remove the Emergency Brake Cable Bracket from the Caliper. Then pry the bottom of the caliper up off the disc. This will allow you to swing the caliper up then push the caliper back to slide the caliper off the enclosed bolt slide at the top of the caliper. This will allow access to the inside and outside pads to remove them and allow you to press and rotate the Piston (Push and Twist-in Pistons) back into the Caliper with the right Brake Caliper Compression tool. The rear two Caliper Bracket bolt head sizes are 18mm. You must remove the Caliper bracket in order to remove the rear brake disc. The Front Brake Caliper Bolt is a 3/8" Allen head bolt. There will be two bolts holding the front calipers to the Spindle. The Front calipers are standard push-in Pistons.
The standard size of the brake caliper mounting bolt for a typical vehicle is usually around 12mm in diameter.
The caliper bolt size for a standard brake caliper on a car is typically around 10mm to 14mm. It is important to consult the specific vehicle's manual or a professional mechanic for the exact size needed.
A 3/8" Allen wrench will remove that bolt on the front caliper.
brake caliper bushings are the rubber mounts that sit inside the caliper bolt holes. They help guide the bolts when bolting the caliper up to the caliper bracket.

One possibility is a brake caliper that has a broken or missing bolt. Or something has broken inside the front axle.
That's the brake fluid bleeder and it should be on top of the caliper. If it is on the bottom you have the left and right caliper mixed up.
