    Go to the following parts sites:

    http://www.partsouq.com

    http://www.villagetoyotaparts.com

    Use your vin to identify your truck. Go thru the brake section and look for the bolt. I find it hard to believe these bolts cannot be special ordered. The dealer you dealt with is lazy.

    I wonder if someone was in need of one and snagged yours in a parking lot?

    They take cats all the time here in SoCal. Right at the shopping malls, work parking lots, you name it.

    I'd personally throw the caliper out and just get a reman'd caliper from a partstore. I've seen them for as low as 85$

    That bolt is not ever supposed to be removed and who knows what may have been compromised by being removed for who knows how long.

    Thanks for feedback.... Based on what I'm finding looks like it isn't serviceable/available.
    47710A below is the mounting bolt. Caliper through bolts aren't listed on here.
    I think I'll go the new caliper route. Unless I can find a scrap one somewhere.
    I think I know what happened now. In Jan 2016 I did my brakes and wasn't paying attention and loosened this bolt first. I tightened back up right away but it must have worked its way loose from there.
