• Brake pad bolts stuck. They're also conveniently made of cheese so after too many failed removal attempts now looking like it'll need drilling out or something.

    Any good ideas before I just kill it with a hammer and buy a new bike? I replaced mine years ago with allen head bolts because I knew these were shit, the grrl didn't get the memo, however.

    Yeah I've tried a bit of lube on the threaded bit, yeah I've tried pliers on the other end, I've tried the elastic band trick but nothing is budging.

  • What about using a hacksaw blade on the far side of the pad spacer? You'd then have a decent length of bolt accessible to use pliers on. Maybe
