Caliper Bolt Retainer Nuts
They look insignificant until the first time you drop all the brake hardware and lose it. Caliper Bolt Retainer Nuts solve that problem permanently. Thread them on after removing your brake caliper and your entire bolt stack stays together, in the right order, every single time.
The problem they eliminate
- Lost washers: no more tiny parts falling behind the bench or into the grass.
- Spacer confusion: keeps the exact order you removed, no guessing at reassembly.
- Wasted time: no hunting for hardware or double-checking brake alignment later.
- Risky shortcuts: avoids threading bolts back into the frame or fork just to keep them safe.
How they work
Once the caliper is off, thread a retainer nut onto each bolt. Two or three turns is enough to capture the full stack of washers and spacers. The caliper can hang freely by the hose or be set aside without anything shifting or falling off.
Why you will use them every time
- Fast: on and off in seconds, no need to fully tighten.
- Reliable: holds everything securely
- Consistent: your brake setup goes back together exactly as it came apart.
- Universal habit: once they are in your workflow, you will not skip them.
Workshop & storage benefits
Perfect for suspension service, frame work, or long-term storage. You can remove the caliper early in the job and never think about the hardware again until final assembly. Everything stays together, clean, and ready to reinstall.
Pro tip
Keep a pair permanently in your main toolbox. They are small, cheap, and save more time than most “big” tools. After a few services, they become automatic.
