Picked up a set of Brembo front calipers and was installing them and found out that the top threads on the caliper where the brake line bolts in we're stripped! Took the brake line off the stock caliper and installed it on the Brembo caliper. Started tightening the bolt but it never got tight. Took the bolt out to find the top threads in the hole were stripped (like the bolt had been cross threaded possibly). Any thoughts or ideas as to what I can do???
Please, any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks!
