TSB 1987-2002 Dodge Dakota/ Durango Front caliper housing bolt

Condition: Caliper housing bolt damaged when servicing front brakes



Repair: When servicing the brakes and replacing the front brake pads some techs have complained that the hex head of the housing bolt because of its size M9-1.25 is easily stripped or damaged when they re-install the caliper.



The fix is to install an alternative housing bolt with a M10-1.25 hex head.



The bigger hex will be stronger and will facilitate installation without any issues.



The Raybestos part number for the M10-1.25 housing bolt is H5015W.
