Hey, Mike,
<snip >Anybody happen to know what size the threads are
for the caliper retaining pins?<snip>
Your best bet would be to pull the other retaining bolt - provided IT'S
still got a good thread & check the thread with a micrometer (or vernier
caliper) & a metric thread pitch gage. Then you can do what Tony said & get
a matching helicoil kit to repair the thread. You also should get some
loctite or Thread Lock 245. The kit'll have the correct size drill, helicoil
inserts, an insertion tool & a tang break off tool. Total cost should be
around $50 (+-/)... You'll probably hafta remove the caliper to be able to
drill the threads out & install the insert. Apply the thread locking compund
to the insert & install it with the insertion tool. Let the thread lock dry
& break off the insert tang. Reinstall the caliper & the bolts & bleed the
system & you should be all set.
