madeuce216 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) Hello all, hopefully someone can provide direction. Just installed a new rear tire on my 2015 FJ. When reassembling the brake caliper, the pin slide bolt would not torque down (the large bolt at the top of the assembly). Upon inspection, it appears the assembly portion appears stripped in places such that the bolt itself can't fasten properly. I am assuming I can re-tap it but I don't know the size. Anyone know??

Supporting Member betoney Posted December 6, 2020 Supporting Member Share Posted December 6, 2020 @BBB and @madeuce216 This appears to fairly common, there is a current discussion for the exact same issue on the MT09/XSR forum. Bottom line, when reinstalling the caliper, install the forward bolt first. 2 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member micah2074 Posted December 10, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted December 10, 2020 That bolt/pin can be...difficult. I’ve found that if I install rear bolt first then the pump the brake a few times the front one starts easier. Let’s go Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buggy Nate Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Just a FYI after you repair the stripped thread, the caliper can stay on the bracket for rear wheel removal. Save yourself some time and grief! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
