Then when you reinstall the bolt stick it in from the bottom - I've done this and NEVER had an issue. Just make sure you use a Grade 8.8 or better bolt of the same diameter and a locking nut, or use two nuts so you can jam them together so they don't come loose. 2000 SVT Turbo 295hp/269ftlb@12psi #1 for Bendix Brakes Kits!
