Am I looking for the right thing? Calling it the right thing?



It's #22-23. It's a long ass partially threaded bolt, that the caliper slides on.

I need this:


All of the autoparts places are showing this:



What the hell.

Honda is stupid, two different part numbers for the same damn part.

#22 - honda part number 45235-S0K-A01
#23 - honda part number 45262-S0K-A01

Why is it that very few mechanics will use torque wrenches when reassembling things? Why must it be 80+ft/lbs of impact tools?

I only went to the dealer when it was a warranty related issue.

I do most of the work myself. Except when I tried to get the bolt off yesterday and the thing was all sorts of fucked up. The top one came out fine, but the bottom was another story. Looks like they didn't finger tighten anything, just used air tools to put it back together. Had to use a bolt out and air tools to finish. Royal pain in the ass.

Why I couldn't find the right part at any of the local parts places was beyond me.
