     X1_lightning |
I am looking for a brake caliper for my husbands 2000 X1 lightning and we had the front and rear tire replaced about a month ago, and we are now changing the front wheel bearing again and when we took the 2 bolts out of the front brake caliper I decided to clean them up and when I was looking at them I noticed a hard substance on 1 of the bolts so as I was trying to clean it I found out that it was metal in the threads. So I inspected the brake caliper and come to find out the guy that put the tires back on he tore the threads out of the caliper. So now we are despertly in need of help for some suggestions or if any1 would know what all years or models interchange with the 2000 X1 mellenium limited edition. Thank You for the help. | ||

Amazing how some "professional" mechanics don't use a torque wrench when tightening fasteners! I have a front brake Caliper from a '99 X1. If it fits, and you want it, you can have it for $30 shipped. | ||

Thank You very much as of right now we fixed the old one by putting in a heli-coil and it tightened up tight but we are not getting it to bleed worked on it for a bout 5 hrs now trying to get it to bleed. About the professional mech all he did was brag about how sure and how he was on top of everything. NOT!!!! |
