Would anyone know the size....or have a few caliper bolts for a Blazer caliper.
I was half way to the local cruise-in when I suddenly felt a thumping in the left front area. Of course my first thought was "oh sh*t". It made a grinding sound when I applied the brakes. So I limped it home.
I first thought a wheel bearing had given up. I guess it could have been worse.

Anyhow, if anyone can provide the size...or has a few extra caliper bolts, please let me know.
Even the size would be helpful. ...or if someone has the GM part #, that would also be helpful.

Btw, I lost both bolts...😳

Jack, you might just want to hit a junkyard. Any 98 and up Blazer will work. The 2wd and 4wd use the same calipers , brackets, dust shields and bolts. timo22
Thanks Tim,
I had that thought in mind.
 
Would any of you guys know the proper torque for these calipers?
 
If they are the 12mm bolts (which I think they are), then 85 ft/lbs. Found that spec in two places on the web.
 
I ended up losing one of my spindle-to-caliper-bracket bolts last spring. I found my replacement in the Help! section as well. I gave all 4 a good helping of loctite afterward.

Jim,
As I was checking online for the torque specs, I noticed that Autozone had the caliper torque @ 38 ft lbs. It just seemed a bit low.
Yes, they are the 12mm bolts. Well, I guess 85 ft lbs is it.
Thank you sir.

The bolts already had thread lock on them, so I didn't use any extra Loctite.
