Re: Banjo bolt size???
Quick update, that bolt fits only one of the calipers? The passenger side one looks to have a coarser thread or something? Is this normal?

Re: Banjo bolt size???
7/16 X 20 is correct. Whoever did the last brake job on your truck installed an 81 or newer metric caliper on the truck. Most parts stores don't differentiate from the 2 calipers because they look the same, use the same shoes and bolt on the same. You just heed a different banjo bolt and it easier to replace that than to change out the caliper again. WES
