Hi you guys... right.. went to change my front disks/pads the only problem is the head of one of the bolts sheared off leaving me with the screw still inside the caliper holder/wheel hub... how the hell do i grt it out/ wheel hub off ect...alsodoes anybody have a N15 workshop manual that i could possibly download or buy as no garages will touch the car so i need to do it myself.... cheers chaps............Shane :(
 
kinda thought that but its a tight old squeeze gettin in there... dont think i could get in with a cordless drill...pesky cack bolts :mad:
 
Welcome mate.

I have the P11 Primera FSM, let me know your email addy and i'll send the brake part accross. It wont be the same but it might help!

Where abouts are you in Leeds?
 
A Factory Service Manual, basically a workshop manual.

I live near Horsforth mate. I'll email that stuff this afternoon, i'm at work at the moment.
 
The bolt holding the caliper on... proper nightmare
 
drill a hole in the centre of the snaped bolt and use an easy out or get a tap with a point on the end and try tapping it round with a hammer.

Sounds like a drilling job then... firstly i dont mean to sound thick but whats a easy and a tap.. i know i sound stupid but i aint a mechanic and apart from servicing my car and doing internal work on the car i dont usually touch em
 
easy outs are shite! they just snap if theres anything left off the bolt sticking out theres a tool you can buy that grips on to it!Its only cheap and works on anything it can grip onto! You just attach your ratchet and turn!
