hi all,

went to change the front disks and pads today a job that should be about 30 mins max per side.

So started.... Car jacked up , wheels off.. top caliper bolt undone., went to the bottom and s*it the bottom bolt has been completely rounded...

How on earth can i get it off.. I need the disk changing when i get back from desert in september for the mot...

I need some help please.....

Will it be better to take to a brake place and get them to fit the new disks and pads?????

Thanks in advanced

lee
