stuck brake caliper mounting bolt.

[steve_k]

afternoon folks, got a bit of a problem.

while changing the front pads on my hi-spec billet 4 calipers on my sport one of the 2 mounting bolts has decided it don't want to move,

i have managed to get the caliper & mounting bracket off the strut.

it a 6mm allen head bolt, & it's in solid, i have tried hammering in a slightly bigger torx bit but still nothing,

i've tried a couple of extractors that i've got but still nothing.
does anyone know what type of extractor i need? or would i be better off getting it drilled out?

i've got brand new bolts ready to go in.

hi mart, managed to get it off, just had to tap the mounting bracket a few times with the lump hammer to shock it loose,

got it off only to find a need a new seal kit.

I was going to suggest the universal spanner but you beat me to it
