Ooops.
Went to do up the blake fluid bleed bolt on the front caliper and the d4mn thing sheared off.
Anyone have any bright ideas how to remove it now?
I`m thinking either dremmel a new line to fit a flatblade screwdriver, but I don`t think there`s room to get it in.
My other thought is to take a long hard look at the replacement bolt I have, then diplomatically drill out the interior of the old bolt, then undo it from the hollow inside once the pressure holding it tight is lessened as the bolt collapses.
This is how I`ve removed shorn off bolts in the past.
Is there any other method I should be aware of, as I really want to avoid damaging the caliper, as one, I bet they`re a fortune, and two, once I do it, the car is undriveable until its a done deal.
Hey, Xipe, do you want to sell a front right caliper ??? LOL.
What cars does the M5 3.6 1990 share its front brakes with, in case I decide on a second hand one?

The T*at was prepared to duck tape a leaking rubber fuel line on an omega last week.
