Title: caliper carrier
Post by: gashead1974 on 29 April 2012, 19:45

Any sugestions.....i went to fit my new discs and pads this weekend but the 8mm Allen key head on the carriers is rounded of so it won't budge. I don't have access to any lifts or heat so is there anyway around this so i can get the old discs off??? Cheers

Don't drill them, far too much effort.
Use irwin extractors..
