Caliper Bracket Mouting Bolt - Honda Prelude Forum

soccer3303 · 01-23-2005, 09:23 PM

I seemed to have somehow lost one of these bolts. It's in the Helms Manual pg 18-27 and in the lower left side of the page. It is on the rear rotor and holds the rotor to the lower control arm. I believe it is an 8mm bolt but I am not sure. All I know about it so far is that it is torqued to 55N*m. The problem is that since I am at school my car is up in the parking garage and it's cold outside, making it hard to work on my car. Can anyone verify what kind of bolt this is (size and length) and such? I would really like to be able to goto a hardware store and pick it up without having to go to the dealership. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks,

Dan

You don't need them. When you tighten your lug nuts the rotor is secure. It's like a 'floating rotor' setup. If you do put them back in, make sure you anti-seize them. They like to get stuck pretty easily.

Your post is confusing. Your title says Caliper Bracket mounting bolt, and you're talking about the rotor bolt. Which one is it?

The rotor screw that goes into the hub, you dont need...

I'm sorry I meant CALIPER. Not rotor. The caliper bolt is missing and now the caliper is sitting on my rotor's edge, scraping it and slowly wearing it down. As of now it's undrivable because it will further damage the rotor. Everytime I said Rotor above I meant Caliper. So sorry about the confusion.

Don't just get a 'hardware bolt'... You are talking about replace a grade A bolt that can widthstand braking power with a 'normal bolt'. I'm thinking that the bolt would probably fail on you under heavy braking.

Ahh you think? Damnit.. ok I respect your opinion. I'll get a honda replacement.

Do you have a dealership around you?

soccer3303 · 01-23-2005, 10:38 PM

Yeah, it's a 3$ part ->

Part # 45

It's not worth saving time or money.... the dealership should have them in stock.
