I bought a cheapo $50 Rear brake caliper compressor and it was done in 45 mins, that includes going to the store and jacking/lowering the car <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />. You blame the caliper for stripping? Maybe you A) cross threaded it or B) but too much torque on the banjo bolt. Those brake bolts are thin as paper as they have a hole in the centre, I found out the hard way, I torqued it too much on a Sunfire and snapped it off in the caliper. It came out easy, but was unfortunate to have to buy a new one...</p></blockquote><p></p>
