Stripped rotor bolt. Where should I take it for removal?

[tecknojoe]

I effed up and took it too far on a rotor bolt and now it's stripped. So who can drill it out for me without destroying the rotor?

It might as well be a place that can scrub glazing cheap, cause I was gonna do that but if it's reasonable I'll just let a shop do it.


help a guy out

you strip the head, or the threads in the wheel?

either way it shouldn't be too hard to get out...maybe hit up mike at supertune (http://www.supertunemotorsports.com/) if he's convenient to you, or try Faster

Just stripped the head. The damn OEM bolts are crappy and strip too easily. Thanks, I'll give them a call

Don't know what you're working on Joe, but factory rotor bolts are installed with Loctite. You have to heat them with a propane torch before removal.

Or just use a bigger fh. Torches are for pussies and angry mobs;)

I use the blue loctite...not the red...no torches req'd

A hammer and small chisel works great. Just tap it in the proper direction and it will work out. Give it a try - its not too difficult.

Just got it off in less than 5 minutes at TFOG. I'm really starting to like those guys.

Thanks again!
