GUIDEPIN BOLT HEAD SNAPPED OFF INSIDE THE CALIPER WTF DO NOW?
GUIDEPIN BOLT HEAD SNAPPED OFF. HELP!!!
Get a tap and make sure you're turning the right way next time?
Buy a new caliper? They're not expensive or hard to install
How will I take caliper off with bolt still inside of it?
Remove it with the while still attached to the caliper bracket, get some needle nose vice grips to pinch the brake line when you take the hose off the caliper.
What went wrong? Did I screw them into too tight?
Same thing happened to me with a pinch bolt on a steering knuckle. Removed the strut assembly, put it in a vice and drilled it out. Kind of a pain but at least I didn't have to replace half the suspension components.

The slide pin is threaded on those calipers, just get a new slide pin and bolt.
It doesn't even thread into the caliper, just bolts through it. Hence the spanner to stop the pin rotating.
Never pinch a brake line!!! That's a good way to break it
This, the slide pin pulls right out. If you have to, pull the entire bracket off and then look at it from there.
