Need some help on brake calipers

[Crgwal]

Hi,

So I managed to change the pads on my front left with no problem.

I started the same on the right side got everything in place.

I am stuck on getting one of the two hex 7mm back into place. There is a little spring that it seems to screw into and it's slightly mishapened and for the love of me cannot get it to screw back in.

What is this spring called and I need a new one!

Many thanks,
C

The solid insert I am referring to is a top hat section and is machined. The flange fits on the far side of the bolt and can not pull through. By being machined it is actually a stronger part than the parent material. Yes genuine parts are the preferred way but in this case you will end up with a better part than OEM. I have been using Helicoils, twinserts and solid inserts for 40 years now in far more critical areas.
