Re: Broken caliper bolt won't extract

This is beyond hope unless you have a home machine shop. Start shopping the salvage yards for another caliper or just buy a rebuilt one.

A repair shop would have potential liability if this caliper fails so they'd install a rebuilt caliper; they wouldn't waste their time on this kludge. And the customer would pay for it. End of story.
