the allen tube nut had rounded off on my front brake and i need to switch calipers.
friend lent me a screw extractor set. it seemed to be working and i started to crack a smile as i could see the flange of the tube nut slowly appear like the head of a newborn baby. my smile was soon wiped from my face as it then came all the way out to reveal the tube nut had broken in half, leaving the brake still in place.
i need to get this brake out as it is next to useless. is drilling the only way?
thanks for any advice ls & gs
