So managed to replace the rear brake pads just fine. Was a little beat, and decided to still do the front. Ended up shearing off the top caliper bolt. And now I know what not to do. What I'm wondering, is what do I do now? It was getting dark, so I put the wheel back on and rolled it out of the way for now. I tried searching, but apparently I'm a lone idiot in this thing. I don't know if I just need a new bolt kit and can work the old bolt out of the caliper? Or do I just break down, hahaha, and take it in to a mechanic to fix. I also found a rotor in the back I need replaced, so there is work to be done.
On a good note, the new wheel spacers look good on the back wheels.
I do not unfortunately have pictures of the bolt, but it snapped at about 3/8" in, right at the other caliper bolt head. If that makes sense. It's an 08 JKU Sahara, just for point of reference. Thanks in advance.
