Title: Anyone in Cartersville at exit 290 with a trailer??
Post by: PyratM on March 09, 2014, 02:10:26 PM

Somewhere between here and TN I lost a caliper bolt and the first time I hit the brakes getting off the highway the drivers front locked up. I'm dead in the water.

When in trouble post your number so we can reach you faster.  

Did the caliper wedge against the wheel? Why did it lock up? Mine grabbed the stick on wheel weights, jammed, and busted the wheel. Don't force it.

I'm going to try and get a ride up to my office because I fairly sure I have an extra caliper bolt there. I'm crossing my fingers my memory doesn't suck.

Good news. The front JK caliper bolts take a lot of torque, 120 ft/lbs.  the rears are less, 55 ft lbs.

These are good bolts to check on occasion. Mine are in w loctite as I have a caliper drop like Matt, not fun.
