With your caliper removed, I would try to put a straight edge on the caliper bracket at the holes and compare it to the rotor for parallel. It's the threads in the caliper bracket that determine if the bolt is going across perpendicular to the rotor. You may have to remove it, apply some heat and pressure to bend it straight again. ..or perhaps someone cross threaded it in the past?

.

The pin makes contact with the outboard spindle mount hole off center before it mates with the threads in the inboard spindle mount hole.

I can start threading the pin through the outboard mount hole on either the top or bottom mount point, but the remaining pin then will not line up without putting things in a bind (I can get the second one started by applying pry bar pressure but it is way too tight).

I'm not understanding the straight edge parallel to rotor comment.

Thanks,
