Stripped bolt

Sorry, but for the money they charge new for those, that is one ***** design failure.
Was dreading changing the front disc back plates on the merc the other day. But what a dawdle. Good thick meaty solid little bolts.

You think those calipers are big. Got close up with a new Range Rover Sport the other week. They are massive.

Those bolts always strip or snap, you'll need to drill down the middle and try to extract it, when I did mine I drilled it out, re-tapped the hole and fitted a helicoil, then used a stainless bolt with copper grease.

I'm really not that steady with a drill, I tried it on my bonnet and kept going off centre.
Man this is going to pot quickly haha!

The ones that I managed to get out were thread locked, do they not need to be?

Emailed a local engineering company who specialise in injector extraction but listed bolt extraction on their yell page.
Hopefully it can be done and picked up within a day at work as its about 5mins from my workplace.

Better than me ruining things!
