#1: Brake Replavint tips Author: Linkpad, Location: WalesPosted: Mon Aug 22, 2011 3:20 am ---- 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 !!

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