What is the tap size you need to clean out the threads on the Brembo Brake Caliper where it mounts to the spindle? I need to clean all the locktite out of mine, 2012 Boss 302 stock caliper. Thanks!

Why not? The factory W710233-S439 bolts come with locktite-type stuff on them. And for about $1.50 a piece, why even risk reusing them?
Ouch!.....No Steak dinners for you this week, JDee.................$33.92 plus 13% tax
I had some new caliper bolts from Ford with the locktite already on them, had some denatured alcohol that I filled a cup with and dropped the bolts in to soak overnight, next morning the locktite came right off.
My father was a machinist and had a shop like that in the video, wish he was still alive, he would have loved to have fixed my calipers, and of course lecture me on how I screwed them up....
Now I need to find a machine shop like this one....wish me luck!
Yup, after rewatching the video I'm going to attempt on my own this winter. Got to have something to do in the shop or the wife will put me to work on who knows what..........actually, you could do that with a counter mounted drill press, you don't need a mill for that.
Edit: then why does Ford put the locktite on the bolts? For your every day consumer? Ready to learn
What kind of solvent will take the pre-installed loctite out of a new set of bolts? Or do you just wire brush it out? And is there a difference between what the guy uses in the video and a helicoil? Been a while since I put a helicoil in something so maybe this is new and better?
