Dern. Was 32 in Winder. It's interesting how we can be so close yet such a temp difference.

I disconnected my JDM rear fog light - a few of the LEDs failed. I guess the unit isn't sealed very well. And it's not easy to replace with the aftermarket rear diffuser.

Installed the GTR Start/Stop Button to replace the faded stock one.

Looks sexy, just need to get used to it not being back-lit.

While doing my brakes, I had a couple bolts that were fighting me to come off. They are rather corroded. I don't really want to use an anti seize because I know that can screw up the torque rating. Any thoughts on this? What's best to do?

Use it. I've never actually torqued those bolts properly and haven't had any issues. Probably not the brightest, but if you use anti-seize and torque them, then I personally don't see an issue. You might need to set your wrench slightly under the rated value.

But then again, I may be full of complete crap and you can ignore everything I've stated.

Your options.
1. Reuse bolt as is.
2. Chase the threads with a die to clean up.
3. Use a little bit of anti-seize to help the thread.
4. Get a new bolt.

I've done all 4 at one point or another in my life.

What is the bolt for? Caliper bracket to knuckle?
If that is what the bolt is for. And by looking at the head of the bolt. The flank of the face doesn't look to healthy. So I would pick option 4. Because of the flank starting to round off.But I don't know what the rest of the head looks like.

I'll get new ones. I see a 6 on the bolt head. Are these hardened? I know usually the hardened bolts have lines on them.

Metric fastener grading is a little different. 5.6, 8.8, etc. I'm not certain about this specific bolt, but I'd suspect it would be case hardened.
