I'm replacing the rubber front brake hose and the bolt that secures it on the body is badly rusted. I've been soaking it daily with PB but no joy. Should I just drill and retap it or is there a trick to get it out intact?........

 

Chances are if you use a small enough drill you can drill out enough of the center, increase the size of the incrementally and get it to a point where you can fold what is left on itself to get it out. No idea what size that is though. Just know that it is a T40 torx head.

 

Thanks! I drilled a hole in the center of it and used an air chisel to get it to spin. It just took a lot of time...but it's out.

 

I went back in with Stainless Steel button head fasteners on mine.
