    The guys who did my lift cross threaded caliper bolt which I found out when I put new slotted and drilled rotors, which I was going to leave for now but…
    My cv shaft need bearings are toast so I ordered ECGS clamshell bushings and would like to just replace it right away since it’ll be half off anyways thanks

    Honestly I'd just helicoil it, if you can remove it and send to any machine shop they'll fix it no issue. Save some money, and helicoils are plenty strong, especially if done right.

    That’s an option I was just going to drill it and thread it next size up but then I’d have to drill the caliper hole a size up too

    The helicoil would retain the same 17mm bolt size, I've done it a few times.

    Most people strip the 12mm line bolt, not the 17mm. That really sucks to find.

    It is the top 17mm mounting bolt..
    I also wish I knew about those needle bearings I could have just put a little more work a couple times and just done them right away
