pad change help!!!
Hi guys, attempted to change my brake pads today...managed to do the fronts easily but i cant do the rears :( the bottom 12m bolt on the caliper is completly rounded...is there any tricks to undoing it??? I dont wanna be removing brake lines etc...any help appreciated :)

swap it with easing oil over night and either knock on an 11mm hex socket on to start undoing it or maybe some mole grips or an easi off socket.
|
I tried an 11m spanner but couldnt get it on the bolt :( i can get a socket on it but theres no room for the ratchet without removing brake lines etc and mole grips wouldnt move it at all :(
|
Halfords do a set of sockets for removing rounded off bolts. Might be worth investing in some.
|
As Pete said, B&Q sell those sockets as well, designed for rounded heads.
