so today while i was removing the front z32 brakes on my 240, i noticed one of the bolts securing the caliper to the hub was completely stripped. upon closer inspection i found that the threads in the caliper itself are mostly stripped as well. it looks as if there's a threaded insert in this hole. does anyone know if this insert is replaceable? I'd like to avoid retapping this hole since i'd have to enlarge the hole in the hub as well.
