Okay so as I test drive the k10 after a new carb, I could feel the truck forcing itself and when braking would pull to the right baddd. I made sure 4wd was off and yes so, I then continued to remove calipers and driver side was all good but the passenger side were seized as to it looked like a solid one piece. The head of bolt broke and vise grips didn't work nor did heat and liquid wrench etc. So in conclusion, can ya help me find the Hus assembly where caliper threads onto? I'm in process of rethreading but no luck so far as its like steel and ain't going so easily. Any other thoughts?

Probably going to have to try an easy out, I'd say one solution would be to pull the spindle and rotor off and then try to remove the bolts. Only other idea, and not sure it's feasible but if you take a nut and place over what's left of the bolt, then weld the middle of the nut and the try backing it out.
