How to remove rounded caliper hex bolt?

Chandon · 09-07-2015, 08:03 AM

Hi, I have a set of 335i front brakes but one of the 7mm hex bolts holding the brake caliper carrier on is completely rounded.. Anyone know a way to remove this as I need to put new pads and rotors on?

TY

I just drilled mine out. Took all of 20 seconds. They aren't even required

Oops... I was thinking about the rotor set screw. Scratch that

Small pipe wrench is my go to in this situation if there is space. I have a 5" long one that gets into pretty small areas.
