Hello, I'm looking to replace the top and bottom bolts on my caliper as the bottom was rusted (but removable) and the top I had to cut off completely.

I see in another thread here that the top bolt is an M8x21, and bottom is M12x1.5x35, can anyone confirm before I run out to a hardware store?

Here is another parts image, but no model #'s are listed for 1 and 6, which are the bolts I need.

I'm not the original owner of the car and don't have an owner's manual, so I don't know whether the bolts that were installed are OEM.

Hi,

Yep, both #'s 1 and 6 are what I need to replace (top and bottom bolts).
Thanks for the link, I have some part #'s to look up.

Actually, on re-reading your link, is #6 and the - directly below it on part list used to indicate the upper and lower bolts? Because those are the ones I need to replace:

6 N 101 815 02 bolt, with hex. socket hd. M10X1,25X40 2
- N 102 409 01 bolt, with hex. socket hd. M10X1,25X65 2

5 and 6 are the slider bolts that go to the bracket, 1 is the securing bolt to the hub

New bolts come with a new carrier or if you buy a rebuilt loaded caliper.

I've made it a habit to check/lube the pins yearly when I swap rims after having a rear pin rust/freeze in the carrier forcing a full replacement.
