lifted_silverado Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) Easy outs. I had the exact problem with my 06 suzuki z400 bumper. Bought these things from home depot, has a drill bit side you drill through the bolt with and then flip the bit over, stick the end inside your pilot hole and reverse out. It bites in and backs out the bolt. As far as the leak if its an E-brake block off plate theres no fluid behind it, unless the pin is broken or the seal busted somewhere. In wich case its probably going to be a pain the a$s Edited May 22, 2012 by lifted_silverado Quote Everythings in the attic or garage since the truck was sold last year.

727Designs Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Which "Block off plate" are you referring to? Like lifted said, if it's an ebrake blockoff plate thats leaking from you have a bad seal somewhere inside.

727Designs Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Finding a used caliper on eBay would be the best bet.

lifted_silverado Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 100$ is about average, if you wait it out you might find something a few bucks cheaper but it depends how long youre willing to sit on it. I would first pull the block off plate you currently have and see what the problem is. Quote Everythings in the attic or garage since the truck was sold last year.

CleanSierra Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) I'm with Zach(727) on this one, get a used caliper from CL or eBay.
