FZJ80 Brakes

[gylesss]

Does anyone know the size of the brake caliper HOLDER bolts. I had my caliper sheer off the bolts and lodge into my wheel on my way home in my FZJ80 yesterday. I am having trouble finding the size of the bolts.

If that happens again, there are number of other bolts on your LC that you can remove and use to replace it in an emergency.

For the exact length and size just remove one from the other caliper. I would also check the other caliper bolts for tightness before driving. As Douglas said M12 x 1.25. I believe it's 40 or 45mm long.

I would use loctite as well.

That was my exact plan. And I will be pulling the other caliper to check the over it. 1000$ LC that was never driven more than 100 miles a week. This trip was used to find any and all issues with it that I could not visually find.
