Hi all, looking for some advice. I'm trying to replace my front discs and pads as the old ones are down to the steel. I've been trying to remove the caliper for about an hour, and have just stripped the top caliper retaining bolt. I've managed to remove the brake line to get a clear shot at it, but now I'm a bit stuck. I've used a socket that's got the multi teeth, not a flat sided one, but it's still as round as a pound. Help!!
Why do they have to use those kind of bolts? Clearly they're going to be harder to extract as the surface is going to be inherently weaker? If I can remove it, is there any reason why I can't replace it with a proper flat sided one??
