Hello I have Skoda Fabia '01 and would need to change front brake pads. I've changed them about three years ago and apparently when I screw back those two hex bolts, I have damaged one of them. The bolts are 7mm hex but the one has rounded inner corners and the allen key can't withheld the bolt...I would kindly ask anyone for little bit help what are my options now how to unscrew this bolt if anyone knows?

What could I do? Could I nail no.8 allen key to the hole and try withheld or is this to risky to damage anything else?

Kind regards,

Firstly get a set of new guide bolts from the dealers and a set of guide bolt/pin sleeves...........................cut the black rubber sleeve of and clamp a set of locking mole grips to the exposed guide pin bolt.........

Never had them stick on me.......and I use medium strength lock lite on them as well!!

small drill and bits , steady hand , and some easy outs

Smash a torq bit into it

Simples

I use a torx bit on them sometimes, it's the largest torx piece in them blue/red multi piece sets, got them at halfords for about a tena.

I think I prefer the cutting the rubber and using mole grips idea myself. Although I would try first getting a heavy metallic drift like a large pin punch and giving the head of the bolt a few thumps with a heavy hammer, sometimes this is enough to make an Allen key bight.

Hi, thanks for advices, I tried with mole grips but didnt worked out, looks like I will need to cut the rubber and try like that. Im also thinking about to smash some either larger allen key or proper torq and give it a try.

Will try your advices and will report as soon as I solve.

THANK YOU!

Kind regards,

Had the same issue with mine. Utting the rubbers then using moles grips was the answer in my situation.
