There is not enough room to access this bolt now I have stripped the head, any pointers how to extract it? It is seized on pretty good but doable. Need a very short extension looks like to apply proper force. Anyone encounter this and what did you do to get the 2 bolts off the caliper mount?
1. Depending on the access; vise grips, monkey wrenches etc.; can sometimes, grip enough to remove a stripped bolt.
2. Use a "bolt out" type of stripped bolt removal tools; they grip the stripped head enough to remove the bolt: (These are OEM IRWIN/HANSON but sold under a number of different brands)
For the bolt out solution; you get one that is slightly smaller then the damaged bolt and use a hammer to tap it on and then remove the offending bolt. Let us know how things go and which solution worked for you.
