I think the old caliper can be saved; it'll be a perfect winter project.<br /><br /><b>Keith:</b> LOL. thanks for making me smile. <br /><br /><b>Dom:</b> new tools are always fun! almost makes you want to break something else to get more... ALMOST<br /><br /><b>RichardM:</b> yea, I wish I would have gotten the next bigger one, but I was feeling cheap after spending so much on the extractors. <br /><br /><b>Fuzzy:</b> ahaha, i hope you're right, but I suspect that the rusting ural and aging gs will give me some more opportunities. :)<br /><br /><b>Dear Jack:</b> in the end, visa helped me too. you should just ship that fancy red box of goodies to MN. make more room in your garage for cigars. <br /><br /><b>Brady:</b> lucky we both have extra bikes to ride when we ham-fist one of them! bikes are like computers, you can always replace parts until they work again.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-34433831913505679322011-10-11T10:35:48.022-05:002011-10-11T10:35:48.022-05:00Chris,
I feel for you, I did the exact same thing...Chris,<br /><br />I feel for you, I did the exact same thing on my Honda. I was not able to get the screw out, the worst part was that the screw itself was made out of aluminum (of all the hairbrained...) anyway, the screw extractors bent the metal and jammed it further. Sorry your luck wasn't any better, but I'm glad you got it taken care of.<br /><br />Brady<br />Behind Bars - Motorcycles and Life<br />www.behindbarsmotorcycle.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03424120592303852860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-50133982306462033282011-10-11T08:57:44.967-05:002011-10-11T08:57:44.967-05:00Dear Chris:

Nevertheless, you still came out ahead without having to buy a new caliper kit. <br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack/reep<br />Twisted RoadsJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-76020470666764365982011-10-11T06:34:39.128-05:002011-10-11T06:34:39.128-05:00Sorry this happened in the first place BUT... now ...Sorry this happened in the first place BUT... now that you have all of those extraction tools you're pretty much guaranteed to never ever need them!

I didnt buy nearly as many goodies as you did, but none of them worked well. (I still dont like the design... much rather have a keyed spline and a turnbuckle adjuster). Anyhow... it should, theoretically, be possible to mill out and rethread what is left of your old caliper.. but if assembled correctly, your ... new used caliper should last plenty long to think it all over. And all this reminds me it's about time for pads on my car. <br /><br />WilliamWilliam Hhttp://www.twitter.com/#!/todkapuznoreply@blogger.com
