Alrighty....how am I going to remove this stripped bolt on the brake hose to caliper?
I already used the Black & Decker dremel tool and cut a slot in the middle of the bolt, hoping I could use a flathead to loosen it with no luck.
I then found this in the toolbox but it didn't work liked I had hoped and just stripped the bolt some more... :x
The next think I am thinking of doing, is I found these Black & Decker screw extractors in the toolbox...so I might give that a try, drill a pilot hole and then use the screw extractor to hopefully turn the bolt out.
Any other ideas? Like something to use that would give a lot of torque to turn the bolt using the slot I made?
I'm having a drink now and then going to bed....my last resort is to take the caliper off, stick the bolt in the vise grip...and I should be able to loosen it then. All ideas welcome... :)

Well, I got that friggen bolt out!
I used this along with an adjustable wrench, and hammer for some added force. :)
If you got a stripped bolt, get the Craftsman Bolt-Out! I had tried everything from the screw extractor using drill, cutting slot in the bolt and using power drill to turn it, and even used a similar thing to the Bolt-Out kit made by Lisle (really didn't much of anything except strip the bolt more). This Craftsman Bolt-Out took a matter of minutes to remove the rounded off bolt after purchasing it and bringing it home. 8)
