mikestewart395 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 My front brake, what is the name of the part that the shoes attach to, not the caliper but the part that bolts to the wheel assembly. I have to get the broken bolts drilled out and tapped, I want to know how much that part would cost but I need the name of it. A machine shop might charge the same as a replacement, I want to research it but I don't know the correct part name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleurys Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I guess that would be called a knuckle ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahardb0dy Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) Pick up some grease for the slide pins, I like a product called Sylglide but if they don't have it ask for brake caliper grease. Not the anti squeal stuff, it's a grease, You can also grease the areas where the pads sit in the torque member. When you tighten the caliper bolts, they don't have to be monster tight, I will tighten them by hand than put a wrench on the head of the bolt and give it one whack with my hand, that's good enough.
