HELP! Brake job....

HELP!

Doing a routine brake job on the Tauras today...well, didn't go very routinely! For starters on the Front right one of the caliper slider bolt's was missing and the caliper mount bolts were loose! Thankfully the right side was all nice and tidy.

Here's my problem, turns out the shop that did the brake job before strip one on the caliper mounts. I get the top bolt in, but the bottom thread is all messed up. I have a tap and die set, but no idea how to use it. Any machinist type guys know of a website I can go to so I can learn how to use this thing or want to come over and help?

And I haven't even gotten to the rears...
