I went to change my brake pads myself for the first time on my fto. seems like a simple job.
But the bottom bolt on the passenger side calliper is completely rounded, it looks like the last clown who owned it tried filing it down to fit a 16 mm socket and failed badly.
I went out and bought a nut splitter but that was, to be blunt fuking usless, after the the 2nd go it broke. I saw a link about heating it up with a blow torch but I 'm gonna admit that I don't have the balls to do that in case I mess up. What would a mechanic do.
I am so pissed off cos I'm living in England this year and since September I'v only been back to Ireland 3 times and each time I go back I like to do a bit of work on my car and thats what i look forward to alot.
