I have an 1987 NA. When I bought It I had been told I had to replace the front right caliper. What I came across when looking at it was that there was no bleeder screw so I bought one but found it the threads were stripped inside the caliper. So now the bleeder if always just releasing fluid when you hit the brakes. I was wondering if there was anyway to fix the threads so I don't have to replace the whole thing!

 

Don't bother. Auto part stores have rebuilt calipers for around $50 with core exchange. You could drill and re-tap the threads for a larger size, but I think they are some kind of tapered thread. The correct drill bit, tap, holder, and cutting fluid is going to cost about the same as the replacement caliper.

 

dont even mess around with teh calipers, rebuilt units are cheap enough.

 

Well I went to replace it and a bolt was so rusted it broke off in the threads, so it's just shop time.
