    another caliper question for 98 corolla

    I put new brake pads on my 98 corolla yesterday. I was going to put the new rotors on too but the torque plate bolts are too tight so Im going to have a friend do it. The problem is that on the right wheel I turned the bottom caliper bolt (the bolt in the pin) the wrong way thinking I was looseing it and I was tightening it. I broke the bottom caliper bolt/pin. Where can I get another one? Would it be safe to drive the car without both pins/bolts as long as at least one pin/bolt is installed?

    YES! since you dont want any early scarring or anything to damage the rotors w/ older pads...
