Bolt rounded off won't grip help!!

[btodd]

I am rebuilding my brake calipers and the front drivers side bottom caliper bolt has been chewed up. It's rounded off and the wrench won't grip the bolt. You guys have any tips for dealing with something like this?

go to advance and pick up a set of screw/bolt extractors (not sure of the correct name). i picked up a set for under $10 and have used them numerous times. you will have to drill into the bolt to get these to work, but they work great.

regards,

try using vice grips to turn it out and if that doesn't work, craftsman makes some little things called bolt outs. and they will work. i've got some and i've used them many times and they work great. here's a link. http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/prod...0&vertical=TOOL&pid=00952161000&bidsite=CRAFT

if the link doesn't work, go to www.craftsman.com and search for bolt out or rounded bolt remover. good luck!

Vise grips should work just fine.

If not, check out the Craftsman rig.
