Drill and Easy-Out
Small drill so you don't screw up the threads. Easy-Out to match the drill size. Drill only deep enough for screw extractor to get a bite. |

I messed mine up the easy out did not work and in the end I am not sure he was even able to save the caliper. cores are only worth 10-20$ so its not worth spending a lot on it if you mess it up. but if you are rebuilding it you may be able to back it out if you are really careful. good luck Phil |
