Default problem is i can't get the old ones off.
I'd do that for sure, but i'm not about to go out and dump $$$ on a torch or a tap and die kit. sucks that i live way out in the middle of nowhere. no AWer's around.

Default grade 10.9 is metric, grade 8 is std.... same stuff different scales
if you can't find grade 10.9, get some stainless, they work fine.
rear brakes don't see much stress anyways

Default Drill them out ?
I replaced my carrier bolts with normal hex bolts. Barely fit, but they fit.

I had a similar problem in the front of the S when I did my suspension. Cut it off with a grinder...
