Why Choose This Kit

Brake caliper thread repair is one of the most cost-effective service interventions in modern automotive maintenance. Stripped guide bolt threads in caliper carriers are common wear items, especially on high-mileage European vehicles. This kit removes the economic barrier that discourages many independent shops from offering the service—no need for strut removal, bearing extraction, or axle work. Your customers complete the repair in minutes rather than hours, dramatically improving their profitability on what would otherwise be a chassis teardown job.

The precision-engineered helicoil inserts provide permanent thread restoration, eliminating comebacks and warranty issues. Proper sizing and complete tooling mean technicians execute repairs confidently, first time, every time.

Stock this kit prominently for European vehicle-focused shops. The combination of labor savings, high application frequency, and professional results makes it an essential offering in any serious brake service inventory. Consider bundling with premium brake service sockets to position yourself as a complete brake system solution provider.
