As above , I managed to snap the end of a torq screwdriver head in my Juicy front caliper. Whats the easiest way to get It out without knackering the whole caliper head. ?
If the tip of the torx screwdriver bit is stuck in the bolt I'd focus on trying to get that out, maybe pry it out with a small screwdriver. If that fails the dremmil a slot and use a flat bladed screwdriver. Depends on the postion but you might get a pair of molgrips around the bolt but you need some space and risk scratching the surface.
Is it the bleed port bolt?
Araldite a bit to it and leave it to dry then remove it once it's dried and replace the bleed bolt.
Too late for Araldite , Now look like they have been with an RPG. 🙄 . Just bought some of the Classifieds. 😀
Have you tried using 'easy outs?
I snapped a torx bit in my rear mech hanger and that got it out after I'd nearly destroyed my rear triangle
Ill check them out mate.
It the broken off bit from the driver jammed in the head of the screw ?
it's hard to drill out a pan head torx screw by hand accurately if the head is totally snapped off as centring your drill bit can be tricky, might be worth getting it done on a pillar drill, even small EZ outs need about a 3.5 to 4mm hole which doesn't leave much margin for error on an M5 bolt.
