    drill it out, then drill it and retap a bigger size and get some new bolts, l shape allen keys r WANK, no other word for it, good quality t-bars or sockets are the way to go

    mole grips... theres no way its so tight youve fucked the bolt wiht a proper socket allen.. they are DEFFO metric allens your using arnt they?

    the bolt holes arnt threaded so if you cant get them off with mole grips you will have to cut the head off the bolt then remove the disk.. the caliper will slide off with the hub, bit long winded tho.. if you have torque keys use the next size up and hammer it in, will just about give you purchace to undoo the bolt.. who the fuck did them up and wiht what? its ali on ali with a stainless/ali bolt... :confused:

    i dont really know what bolt it is or how big or what eaccess is like or anything, try and get a torque and smack it in wit a hammer, be careful though

    i just told ya m8, cut it off and then take the disk off... caliper will come with it, then jus unwind the remaning bit of bolt.. always avoid drilling bolts out, its bodgery at the best of times.
