Hey guys,
I have a 2007 Panda 100hp. I started the job of replacing my rear brakes as my pads were almost down to the backing plate and the discs weren't in great shape either. Anyway, everything was going to plan until I came to the 8mm Hex bolts holding on the caliper bracket. Cleaned out the gunk and the Allen key just spun and the bolt went nowhere, same thing happened with both passenger side bolts (Never even attempted drivers side).
I'm not very experienced in this type of work but I'm willing to try maintenance/ repairs I'm confident enough about after watching several YouTube tutorials.
My question is, is there a tool anyone could provide a link to, that would go about extracting these if they have been rounded? Also if someone could provide a link to the bolts I would need to replace these once removed.
As I needed the car I just went with installing the new pads for the meantime. I'm sure I could go to a mechanic to get them removed but I would rather take care of it myself to save money and there's also the small matter of pride lol. Also I don't have a drill so please keep that in mind.
I also have discs and pads to do the front soon and I'm guessing the front bracket uses the same bolts?
Many thanks!!
