Important Caliper Question...

So my boyfriend and I were working on his rear brakes on his 97 Z28...we got everything done and were putting back the top bolt on the caliper. I notice that while I'm screwing the bolt back in, it doesn't really tighten up even though the way I was rotating it was the correct way. When I take out the ratchet, part of the bolt is inside the ratchet!

I'm not sure how it happened since I wasn't putting too much force and the bolt did not look old or worn out. So totally odd...

Anyways for my question, is it possible to replace this bolt or will I have to replace the whole entire caliper? I heard that I might have to, but I would someone else's opinion on it before I go spending money. Thank you.

EDIT Nevermind found that I can buy the bolt and pin at AutoZone/Advance Autos...heh...thank God for the internet. =P
