Uh oh. I got brake problems!

Well, today was the day to swap pads and rotors and brake lines. The back wheels were a piece of cake, even for this first-timer.

However, the top caliper bolts on both front rotors were frozen solid. It took a pry bar and lots of gentle back and forth motion to remove them (quarter turn back, quarter turn forward) without snapping off the head.

When they were finally removed, the steel screw had totally stripped the aluminum female threads.

What I need to know now is the bolt size and pitch so I can buy a kit to put a sleeve in and retap it.

Anyone have this information or done this on this part of a Porsche before?
