Dont drill it out mate it will never be right, get a size 40-45 torx bit hammer it in and undo,

hmm it was fine last time, but il do that instead .

hi there

xivlia- its a shame everyone is on your case with this rear break situation but if you think about it 10 min to bleed and fix or a lifetime of regrets - rather get them sorted.

I have previously had that problem with stripped bolts i took my dremil cut two slots in the head and used the bigest flat screwdriver i have to turn the bolt out worked a charm

thanks mav

Damn! Beat me to it!

LOL! Well, I don't ride fast either, so I think I will leave the rear brake on and take off the fronts...that should make the front wheel really light and steer better, right?

i think we should all have it , its now the law
