Stripped Front Brake Caliper Bolts

[LeGaCyGiAnT124]

Does anyone know how to get them out? It was froze in there from being corroded and now the head is stripped. I really dont want to pay for a new caliper either so any ideas in mind? There has to be some way to get it out. Please let me know.

Thanks, Brandon

same thing happend to me.. luckily i had 2 extras..

but the only option i know of is to drill them out and then helicoil some new threads...

thats thr only thing i can think to do because the allen heads are recessed down in the caliper

are you talking about the 5mm allen heads to remove the brake pad??? If so, get a torx socket set, get the size that is just too big to fit into the allen head and hammer that in. Then attach the ratchet to it and about half the time it will spin off, the allen head bolts will need replacing. I did this to a few set of 250r calipers.

well it depends on what size head you have i have a craftsman tool set that takes stripped bolts out like a charm its for a ratchet it has spiral teeth that cut into the head there great.go to sears and check them out
