It ate my easy-outs...
Hey, i was trying to put some new rotors on my car and the right rear caliper bolts (one of the two 14 mil ones) broke right the hell off!!!#$! I got the whole assembly out hub and all right now. I figured it was your standard broken off bolt, so I drilled it. 2 bits later I stuck the easy out in there and the usual. Ripped the threads right off my easy out! Same one had done some exhaust stud duty on my other car so I drilled the bolt again bigger and got a bigger easy out after it... rounded that one off too So far I've done 2 brake rotors... one I can't even get the rotor off cause of this stupid bolt. Broke 3 of those damned philips screws on the rotors themselves. This is what I get for buying a 20 year old beach car that sat in a mud hole for 2 years :( </rant>
Anyway to the important part...
Can I drive the car without the philips screws on the rotors until they come in? Also does ANYONE have some suggestions for this stuck bolt?? 1 more... wheres a good place to get these brake screws and bolts, the ones that did decide to come out look like shit. Thanks for any help
