Brake disk bolts snapped

[PaulRobo]

When i was takin my brake disks off, one of the small bolts snapped, done the same on each side.



How am i gonna get these out, the disks are only now held in with one bolt and the caliper, dont really like the thought of this! lol

not that much of a problem! just because the bolts of the alloy go throught the disc has well.

put some cooper grease on the disc-hub and disc-alloy surface next time. You can use also some loctite on the bolts of the disc, but not really that worth it.

This happened to me and Ive been reassured that it happens to 80% of cars as those little bolts just get frozen in. Make sure that theres still some of the bolt still sticking proud of the hub and use it as a guide for the disc - the wheel and its bolts will hold it in no problems. Be careful to have it match up with the holes in the disc, otherwise your disc will crack as you do the wheel bolts up.

yeah dead common, but not a problem dont worry about it

The little bolts are only there to hold on the discs when the car is on the production line. In other words do you really think little bolts like that will really hold on your discs when you are breaking.Nothing to worry about mine snapped and it has made no difference
