In the midst of replacing brake rotors and pads I inadvertently over-torqued one of the front caliper guide pins and snapped it. The part I'm talking about is this one -- https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...ch/8k0698135a/
The good news is that I was able to drill out the tip of the bolt that was left in the caliper holder, the bad news is that tomorrow is Labor Day and my only option is Home Depot for a replacement bolt. I absolutely need to use the car tomorrow to get home so I'm really hoping this is a standard bolt that I can replace. My plan is to take the other bolt down (a friend is gonna drive me) but have very little info on the bolt. So just hoping I can match the size up by eye and using a nut to test thread pitch.
Is this gonna work, I plan on ordering the correct Audi bolts but need something to just get home...thoughts/suggestions? Are these bolts something specific due to the brake application? Don't want to take any risks with safety.
