    Working on replacing the rotors/pads on the impreza and managed to twist the head right off the bottom 17mm bolt holding the caliper bracket(*terminology) on. Drill it out and get a new bolt? maybe reverse tap and pry? replace everything(hope not)?

    haha stupid rust :emo:

    its extremely common for this to happen, make sure you get the same oem bolt/lock washer combo, BP will have them tomorrow, they are open
