I got a new brake caliper and the replacement hardware is different from what currently on there.
The two bolt and bleeder screw are different size head. I'm pretty sure they enter the info right. I mean the caliper looks right. except for the bolt head size not being 13mm and the bleeder screw being 3/8.
I got this caliper at Oreillys .

Has anyone run into anything like this before? Thoughts?


2003 jeep tj.
 
I replaced my calipers back in March with Centric part #s 14258021 and 14258022. I had to reuse to OEM bolts because the new supplied caliper bolts had the wrong thread pitch for the steering knuckle. I think the OEM bolt were SAE and the new bolts were metric, but I dont recall the specfic thread pitches. As for the bleeder screws, I was able to swap over my speed bleeder one way valves from the old to the new caliper without an issue, so they were apparently the same. This was on a 2000 TJ Sport.
