Hey guys,

Just tried replacing my gf's front pads on her fiesta and some absolute numpty grease monkey has rounded the bottom bolt on the caliper .

It's an allen key bolt with a rubber sleeve around it.

What are my options? Ive tried smashing a size up allen key socket on it and it's having none of it.

Were not massively flush right now so a garage is the last resort.

Helps please

 

mole grips

 

very small socket, had same problem with my bros audi and done it this way but gotta be a strong socket so does not split when you hammer it over the head of bolt! bit daft but if it works it works try make it a 12 point socket also not the 6 point get a tighter hold hard but always worth a go with it being circle!

 

If all else fails, or if you don't have enough room to get other things to work just drill out head.

use a torx socket whack it in undo it bobs yr whatever

 

Heat up the threaded end, and then use mole grips! Should be a 7mm allen key head.
