brake caliper bracket bolt

[kovz34]

I need some help guys. I bought a 2wd blazer rearend for my truck.. it's a 2001, 3:42 gears, limited slip, with disk brakes.
I already bought the calipers and caliper brackets.

here is my problem.. I need the bolts that bolt the caliper bracket to the hub. I have the ones that actually bolt the caliper to the bracket. but the long ones that hold the assembly to the hub i cannot find. I can't find them anywhere. does anyone have a link or part number they can give me.

Thanks in advance!! i really appreciate the help!

well i ordered the calipers and brackets from www.rockauto.com. ill have to check with autozone. i just figured they didnt carry something like that. thanks for the advice though

i think they are the same four bolts that hold your drum brakes onto the hub. its 4 bolts and 4 nuts on each wheel location right? bolt is like 1-1/2" long right?

[kovz34]

no, it's only 2 bolts that connect this bracket to the hub.


i know which ones you are talking about though... you are talking about this bracket that is mounted to the hub with 4 nuts and bolts... i have that on there, now i just need the bolts to connect the caliber bracket.

[xtucking22s]

OHHHHH you dont mean the hub you mean the backing plate. or at least thats the term I use. So the caliper to the backing plate. I'd help but i got LS1 camaro discs in the back so it might be different, otherwise id take a bolt out and go to home depot and find a match for ya and tell ya what size it is. Sorry man, goodluck.

[kovz34]

ahhh ok, backing plate. i will try to do a search for that. thanks man

[kovz34]

well no luck from autozone. they dont have the bolts i was looking for. grrr, why are these so hard to find!!!
does anybody have the size of these?

they bolt the caliper bracket to the backing plate on the rearend...

[usmc_noma]

just take an old one and go to ace hardware. they usually have all kinds of bolts. if not there, just get it from the dealer. at least you know you'll have the right one then.

you could also just pocket one at a local junkyard but why go through the hassle.

[kovz34]

problem is i dont have an old one... the rear axle i bought from the bone yard did not come with any.

i guess ill have to give the dealer a call tomorrow unless someone else has a better idea?

[usmc_noma]

just do that. it'd save you the hassle of searching for it all over town.

[kovz34]

ok, ill see what they say tomorrow. these are the calipers and brackets I am talking about.

sexy .... hehe

[usmc_noma]

they turned out real good. nice job.

[kovz34]

thanks man

if its cool, i would like to steal your paint scheme you got thre...it looks sexy as hell dude

But those bolts thath i have are long bronze colored ones, so i think they are the ones that bolt the caliper to thebracket which is wat you have i think in the picture above, i believe. Or i might be wrong...correct me if i am.

[kovz34]

yea, there are 4 bolts that connect the bracket to the caliper. still need the 2 bolts that connect the bracket to the backing plate

and i dont care if ya steal the paint scheme, lol

well i will try, but last time i asked them for something, they didnt have it and had to ''specially order'' it....i willtry but for two brake hoses, they wanted 120 bux, soi can imagine how much this is going to run me

[xtucking22s]

i would, but i dont have any ....and i have pissed tomuch money into this rear to just make it look like crap with teh last piece being taped on there. I just want it done so imight tape it in the end

Ya know... If I'd have seen this thread a day earlier I could have helped out. I was installing setback plates and could have easily taken one off and taken measurements.

HOWEVER, tomorrow I am going to move some exhaust brackets around to stop my tailpipe from vibrating on the rear bumper, so I suppose I could take one out to help. These come out from the rear correct? (where I don't have to remove a wheel etc.) It's been a while since I took the rears off. I'm assuming they're just like the fronts.

well in your case the hoses you can get at a local parts store. i always went to autozone or oreillys. the others should have it too.

had to have them ordered also from autozone.

[BudRacing]

Yeah, for some reason rubber brake hoses can be hard to find. I had one bust on a Saturday and had to find the parts to fix it by Sunday so that I could drive the 200 miles back to school for class on Monday. I scoured the large college town I was visiting only to find that NO ONE had the part. My dad found some in Atlanta (60 miles away) and drove them out to me so that I could get back to school on time. What a guy...

[kovz34]

well f-me... i just called the dealership and "they dont give out part numbers" ... they dont carry them in stock, and they are 9.03/ea ... and i need 4 of them. bastards!!!!
