I've completely chewed up the screwdriver slot on my 105 disc caliper's pad axle while trying to get it out. Can't believe how soft the metal is. At least it shouldn't be too difficult to drill it out.
Looking at Shimano tech docs it's BR-7070 caliper, and I need either a Y8J798060 Pad Axle & Snap Retainer set, which I can get from SJS, or a Y8J710000 Pad Axle, but is there any alternative that isn't so fragile? Maybe with an Allen bolt head?
