Default Need to know what to call this boot on my 2007 Tahoe 4X brake assembly..

I had to heat the bolts attaching the bracket for the caliper on my front brakes to get the locktite to release on the threads. I melted one of the rubber seals as shown in the photograph I'm attaching. Can someone tell me what it is called and if it's available at a normal parts store or just a dealer.

Thanks.. Gary

Default Also... Do you need to reapply the loctite to the assembly to re-attach it?

That was how I burned my seal but I presume they put it on for a reason. Was it just over-kill?

Thanks.. Gary

make sure when you go buy the new one to take the non melted boot with you to make sure its the same but your local auto parts dealer should have it. good luck
