fock im screwed. Brake help please



The top bolt that goes to the caliper is snapped...both of my rear calipers are like this, I'm lost what to do. I don't have a drill small enough to fit back in there to drill it out.

well **** you might have some more room if you "turn the wheels" the right way to fit a drill back there. but as for the back...... jack it up as high as you can.. its still going to be a bitch to get back there but it might be easier than dropping that knukle

heat it up... and spray it with "fluid film" Make a center punch in the middle of try to get it out with Picks... Hopefully its not stuck in there, If there is no head it means that it would not be torqued on anymore.... Hope this helps... Or get a pneaumatic drill with the 90 angle on it... Should be small enough to drill and e-z out

if the whole head is broken off it should just come out. there arent any threads on the knuckle. the bolt goes through it and threads into the caliper
