dan williams Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Aargh! Went to replace rear brake pads and stripped out the head of the pad retention pin. Not a happy camper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decided walking away was best option. So far, so good. Those are the proper first three steps of any repair caused by the all-two-common occurrence of "being human." ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reggie Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 Strip some number 18 AWG stranded wire and lay it across the open hex of the stripped bolt. Now take a wee hammer and your allen wrench and tap it in. The soft copper fills in the voids in the head of the stripped hex. This works more often than not .
