i was putting my calipers back on from changing rotors and was putting the last bolt in..the 14mm bolt that allows the caliper to swing up and down..but i guess i tightened it too much and the screw part of the bolt snaped in the hole..is there a way to take it out or something..i dont want to have to buy new calipers unless i have to

 

try a center punch and a hammer. tap the bolt to reverse it out. Lub it up too.

 

if i try to reverse it out wont it strip the screw and the uhhh thing the screw goes into? =/

Or get a screw removal kit (recommended). Or drill it out and retap it.

^^ i was gonna add.."not ****" but i thought we'd all be mature people here...

yea right

 

same thing happened to me. i just took a small drill and drilled out the center of the screw. about half way into the screw, i was able to reverse the spin of the drill and bring the screw out with it.
