Angry Rear Caliper brackets

Having one bad day - 1st half my led lights for the dash are knacked

Next I have had the car back one day after colour coding and this is what happened.

Removed rear wheel and cleaned everything up, sprayed all the bolts on the caliper and left for 20 minutes..

With a view to fitting new pads started to "try" to loosen the bottom bolt on the caliper to let the caliper wing up and change the pads.

Bolt doesnt move, so apply slightly more even pressure - feel the ratchet click and start thinking about applying some heat.

Next thing bolt starts moving ok - so I keep going, except its sheared inside the caliper bracket.

So what next ?

Its saturday and the highlands so no-where can help

Do I just get second hand one with bolts and is it easy to remove the old braket - IE I dont have to worry about handbrake etc etc

Please help

One very P****ed off scooby owner
