Ok, Heres the story. I posted a thread a while ago about me breaking a ujoint in the axleshaft. Well the other day I finally fixed that. It is now replaced with a CV joint so its only temporary. After I got that done I put my brake caliper on and forgot to put the master cylinder lid back on tight. Turns out this was a HUGE mistake. I started my truck moved it about 5 feet tapped the brakes and relized I had nothing so I put it in park quick. I pulled that little thing over the MC so it was tight and then drove down my driveway once. I realized I had nearly no brakes so I parked it and attempted to bleed the brakes. I wanted to make sure I could get all the bleeder valves open that night so I could bleed them when I got home from school the next day. I got the front broen loose without a problem. Both of the rear bleeder valves broke off. I got a set of new ones at autozone. Came home and tried to replace it. I was unscrewing the bolt that holds the top springs on and it broke(the bolt with no head, its round). I got the rest of the brakes apart but I have no idea what to do about this. Now the question. Do I have to drill and tap, get a whole new backing plate for the brakes, or what?
