Exclamation Hit me baby one more time...
So when i was taking my disc rotors yesterday to perform a brake lathe, i was using an impact driver to get the bolts out (like the picture shown below) and the bit broke off inside the bolt head... What should i do now to get it out?



Ive heard hit it with a hammer and the vibration will cause it to loosen up and maybe shatter, heating the area up and using needle nose plyers, and most realistically......drilling it out and buying a new disc assembly.

What's your guys's ideas/opinions?

you are talking about the screws that hold the brake disc to the hub... correct?

"Like the picture shown below." I'm guessing that is not the OP's own pic.
