Brake rotor allen retainer bolt head stripped
Good Afternoon,
Since it's above 40 degrees fahrenheit, I decided to check the back sides of the rotors on one of my BMWs. On the passenger side, the inside facets of he allen bolt are rounded enough so the bolt won't unscrew. Do I go for the drill and drill it out and then hope to grab the remainder with a vice grips once the rotor is off or do I tack weld a bolt on and anticipate I will be able to remove it with a socket. I've drilled them off before but as I recall, it was a wonderful warm Spring day and it took a bit of effort to drill it off. Anyone been there done that lately? I need to get the rotors turned as part of a brake job.
