All I can hear down the road is my rear brake shields rattling.
This is partly my own fault.
When re-fitting the shields on following the replacement rear beam a couple of the securing bolts sheared off at the heads for these - they're only an M6 thread so tiny!
So I have one bolt securing the O/S shield and 2 bolts on the other (each side should have 3 bolts).
What's the best way to extract these broken bolts? Are the cheap 'Easy-out' extractors on eBay worth a punt? I have never tried using them. I'm worried that the bolts are so tiny they may not have any affect.
Answers on a postcard please.
*Until very recently one of these was held on with cable ties. It is very awkward to fix these on with any more cable ties. I tried.
