Rear caliper nut needed (Wolverine 450)
I was bleeding my brakes today and noticed that my rear caliper is loose. One of the nuts has apparently fallen off and the caliper is wobbling around. No big deal I thought, I'll just order another nut, right?
Here is the schematic on about every Yamaha OEM parts site. The part is missing! Red circle 1 shows there the nut threads on to and circle 2 is where the nut goes through. I distinctly remember it from when I replaced my brake pads. It's a tall nut, allen head. Any ideas on what I could do?

Take the one from the other side, and try it in the side with bolt missing. If it screws in, the threads are the same. I
f it doesn't the the missing one screws in counterclockwise. Take it to an auto parts or hardware store and have them match the length, outside diameter, and threads to a similar bolt.
Buy some Loctite, -non hardening- and put some on the bolt threads during reassembly. Torque with wrench to specs. Hit the trails.
before I go, are you sure bolt #13 is NOT the bolt you're looking for?.
