[QUOTE="Jerambelu, post: 1165392, member: 87099"] I just had one of the caliper bolts break on my '05. It felt a little "soft" as it was being tightened up to the recommended torque. Fortunately, I was able to back the broken piece out by hand. I fixed it temporarily with a hardened hardware store bolt while I wait for a new set to arrive. I ordered new ones from Partzilla.com for 2.62 each plus 5.95 shipping. As Donal mentioned, I assume the bolts are designed to stretch, therefore theoretically, they can be over-streched, I figured if one broke, the others could too, cheap insurance. [/QUOTE]
