Batfink 201 Posted May 20, 2007 My friend tried to change his brakes today and managed to burr over the 13mm bolt to the caliper cover. What tool can he buy to remove it as its pretty fecked. There are the sockets with the bristles that grip the damaged head but I cant find where to buy one from and i've been told they are not very good? Any suggestions? If anyone has a welder in local area then that would be a solution to get another head one so i can now do it properly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrSarty 99 1 Cars Posted May 20, 2007 (edited) I'm sure those pin sockets can be bought even from B&Q - Gatorgrip or summink? Alternatively, having seen your disarray of toolage, perhaps you could find someone like Pugrallye who has excellent tools (that he can find at will ) who'll pop round and whip that bolt out. Or, bigger and bigger hammers usually works Rich Edited May 20, 2007 by DrSarty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
inferno 1 Posted May 20, 2007 blue point stud extractors! or maybe try halfrauds for a cheeper version. they grip the bolt head with an internal opposite thread as u undo the bolt. one of the best tools you can have for working on 20 year old french cars imo! take it to the local garage maybe?
