stripped threads on caliper
 
ok so my horror continues.....after reinstallign my calipers, I stripped the hydraulic line thread out of the caliper. is it trash? any ideas on best way to fix? I dont think I can put in an insert or anything as it is a pressurized line? anyone know what size the threads are for this caliper?

You may be able to helicoil the fitting. It doesn,t seal on the threads like a water pipe but instead seals at the bottom of the hole on the flared end of the line. It may still be easier or cheaper to locate another "A or M "caliper as they should be fairly plentiful.

Make sure the caliper is stripped, not just the fitting.. Maybe you got lucky and just stripped the soft fitting?
