Ok I just purchased rear brake pads and rotors and while I was trying to unbolt the two bolts (14mm) to take pads off I stripped one of the bolts and stripped the hexagon to where its rounded off. So I was wondering if some one might know the bolt number so I can purchase it from infiniti. I have searched and searched and have found nothing so I figured id ask on the forums to see if I can get help. Thanks a lot in advance

Not a good idea....^....any bolts having to do with the brake area should be grade -8 bolts and most hardware stores don't carry anything close. You're going to have to wait until Monday and either visit Nissan or Infiniti for the right bolt. The independent brake/alignment shop I use carries both the nuts/bolts cause they're easily broken and not avaliable every where.Originally Posted by herrschaft
You could take one of the good bolts to a hardware store and find a replacement. I had to do that but can't remember the size.

^Didn't know it was supposed to be 8. Since the bolt I bought has held for a year now with a 6-pot caliber it was probably the correct rating.

Call up a local Infiniti parts department. If you're in SoCal,, hit up Tony or Rick from OC Infiniti.

The caliper bolts? Autozone sells those. Have you gotten the old bolt out yet?

auto stores with have that bolt. you dont need a bolt number just take one of the good bolts with you and they will match the thread and size for you.

I haven't got the old bolt out yet. Gonna have to get some kind of kit to take out stipped head bolts. I actually ordered a bolt from infiniti and it ran me 4.50 which ain't that bad I guess.Originally Posted by cameronb
