Story
Not iffy in the operation sense,
One securing bolt was awfully tight to remove and half the threads are stripped, what to do, I've chased the threads but it's not liking being tightened beyond 70% on a normal half inch ratchet.
I knew it felt wrong from the 3rd or 4th turn, but the discs and pads were almost on their limits, so it had to come off.
The offending bolt was tight from the offing and it stripped the last half of threads on the caliper, there is no carrier with this set up.
I'm reasonably confident it's ok, although I plan to loctite the dodgy bolt.
The un-damaged bolt is nice and secure.
This is a 4 pot Brembo caliper, and it's aluminium, no doubt North of £400 new.
Question
Would a thread insert be ok on this?, I'm thinking yes, but....
