ok so as i was replacing the rotors from the front i ran into these super tightened and rusted bolts that hold the caliper mounting bracket that needs to be removed to replace the rotors...took me a while to get the bolts off with a lot of wd-40 and hammering down on my ratchet but they came off except for one of them...i tried everything and i ended up stripping the bolt..my friend told me i should drill it out but didnt fully tell me how to...anyone know anything about this or have any advice on how i can get this bolt off...?

 

I just changed my front rotrs and pads last week and also snapped a bolt. when i was taking everything off i snapped the bolts head off and its the one that is 14mm head. idk if it's the one you are talking about because im a noob but i just took it to autzone and told the guy i snapped it and i got replacments bolt and hardware.
This is the bolt i snapped replacment and other hardware: http://www.autozone.com/autozone/par.../N-jagb5Z8knjf

hope this helps

 

If you stripped the bolt head just use vice grips and a hammer... if the threads are stripped try banging a flathead between the bolt and bracket and if you get it back there then wrench the bolt out...if you stripped the hole it goes in....your F¥§ked LOL..nah jus kiddin youll need to drill it.out

 

You need one of these things ...

Any major auto parts carry this product. You can also use this with a impact driver (hammer type) if you don't have an impact gun. You can get an impact driver at Sears or Harbor Freight.

These two tools work great and they are a must if you work on your vehicles. They'll pay off in no time.

 

Torch to heat it up, and pb blaster. Then use the biggest vice grips you can get in there.

 

I just stripped the 14mm head thats it...but yea ill prolly try the vice grips and hammer i dont own a torch or any fancy tools lol but thanks guys..i hate rusted bolt ****s r a pain in the *** lol

 

yeah those irwin sockets are the shiznit ive used them and now swear by them. i just wish i had more sizes

 

They work great for removing rusty exhaust bolts.

I can't live without my impact driver either. I do brake jobs for family members/friends and most of them drive Hondas. The impact driver is the only tool that will remove those damn rotor screws without having to drill them out.
