    Take the bolt out. I had one break out into the caliper bracket and I used a drill and backout bit. Worked great. I'd recommend new bolts all the way around after that happens.

    Anti-seize is also your best friend

    Well it was an addition to the dill/re-tap. Replace bolts on both sides, and use antiseize...
    If the threads are totally gone, you should be able to step it up to the next bolt size, for example M12x1.25 to an M14x1.25 or whatever pitch you want to put in. www.mcmaster.com should have any drill bit and tap size you will need to do it. Next day shipping on everything.
