So I fudged up with my caliper bolt. Striped it and tried to repare and now whats left is a hollowed out bolt which is still stuck. I have to get a new/used front left wheel carrier because the remains of the bolt cant be removed. SOOOOOO angry right now.

Now I have to search some junk yards in search for a cheap replacement.

Also ordered new bolts for the rest of them.

Just wanted to share the bad experience and say be very carful when removing those bolts and always replace them.

No pics dont feel like photographing my mistake. Maybe later.
