I have attempted to fit new pads at the front and one of the 13mm inside bottom bolts had rounded off !! Tried everything to get it out the other side came loose though. Other thing is i have brake discs at the back and want to renew the pads there also Does the brake piston just push back like the front ones ?
I think its just a case of the right tools the 13mm Bolt isn't completely rounded its just on the inside at a hard to reach place !!

I can't see how mole grips are going to take a 13mm Bolt off if a torque wrench can't. Im thinking power tools...

sorry I thought it was one of the caliper bolts. Yeah you might have to drill it out unless you can hammer in the torx bit to try and get a bit of the shape back.

You shouldnt be removing bolts with a torque wrench, you will ruin it.
