    Stripped Caliper Bolt

    The lower bolt on my caliper wouldn't budge and I ended up stripping it a bit, am I gonna have to get one of those stripped bolt kits or is there another way around it?

    Stripped bolt kit, or hammer on a 6-point socket and use a breaker bar. With those bolts, you have to hold the socket wrench handle with one and and hold the socket head onto the bolt with the other hand to prevent the socket from slipping off the bolt.

    if you come to the meet and you havent gotten the bolt loose by then, let me know and I will bring one of the stripped bolt remover tool socket things. Make sure you have another bolt on hand to replace it with. PM me a day before the meet if you need me to bring it.
