Grub Screw Stuck!

Hi,

I'm fitting new brake blocks and the screw heads have rounded and I've got one stuck. Any ideas how I can get it out please?

Magnets?

pliers

It's still not moved. Any other ideas? I want to avoid buying specialist removal tools if I can help it.

Drill it out.

An “easy out” would be the best thing. They are reverse threaded and will cut in to the grub stew and allow you to extract it.
Or if you don’t want to spend out on them you can use a T head of a similar dive to the Allen key,Tao it in with a hammer and hope it grips

If it’s a brake pad isn’t it a exposed bolt rather than a grub screw?

dremel a slot then use a flathead screwdriver

Hacksaw a slot and try a screwdriver, else it's these

Buy new brake shoes.

Mole grips get these little shits out

Is the correct answer.

I've finally got the screw out. Does anyone know which is the best type to avoid them galling or getting a stripped head again?

Thanks,

Black steel ones and put grease on the threads. Stainless mashes up quite easily and also binds in aluminium.

Thanks Jonny, I'm thinking of using Bumax screws. Do you know which is the best head type to choose please?

I'd say Torx drives, but its important to use the right screw driver. I use this Torx screwdriver set : https://www.accu.co.uk/en/ifixit-screwdriver-kits/499152-EU145398

I've found some torx drive grub screws that are A2 stainless steel, whats the best coating to make sure it doesn't bind? Zinc?
