calling doctor hack..
someone cross threaded it at one point in it's life, and instead of heli coil they nut and bolt.. if they didn't drill out the threaded hole to large you can heli coil the hole and get a new calp bolt |

Re: Spindle/brake ?
thanks, i will add the brakes on that side was locked up couldn't turn the tire hardly at all. Maybe a result of the caliper not being able to float? I think i have a spare spindle somewhere off a 86 model or will try the helicoil (those are a great invention!)
