striped bolt

[that_guy5]

i was helping a friend change his brakes on his 02 civic and stripped the 2 bolts behind the caliper any ideas how to get that dam thing out??!!

is it the 2 that hold claliper on or the 2 that go threw the bracket it bolts to??????????

Try to grab a bolt with plyers. Turn and pull at the same time.
Try to carefuly wedge a screwdriver between the body and the bolt. Turn and pry the screwdriver. With this technique the stripped bolt may grab the good threads.

Good luck,

first buy 2 new bolts... then take a grinder and cut a slit in the face that will fit a flat head screwdriver into. then get one of those adapters to put a screwdriver head on a socket and go to town (it helps to spray some PB Blaster on it if you have some)
