I would suggest if the bracket is damaged, then you will need a new one. The front caliper carriers (Part # STC1917) are over £100 as a new part!!!!! Once it's off you could look at getting it re-threaded in some way, but personally I would buy a new one, and not risk any problems... I'm always cautios as far as braking is concerned...
