Is there a standard replacement bolt for this torx head bolt? I have a '99 Mystique with rear disk brakes and can't replace the rotors without taking the caliper braket off. After 167,000 miles those bolts are hard to get off... '99 Mystique '98 SVT

Even the T50 felt a little loose, but the next size up is T55, which is too big! 1999 Contour SVT #1966/2760, Silver Frost/Midnight Blue Koni Kit, Mille Miglia MM-S rims, B&M shifter, Stazi mesh, SFCs, optimized Y-pipe & TB, SS break lines, K&N drop-in, Infinity Kappa speakers, MTX amp/sub
