[QUOTE="Geezer, post: 1160991, member: 436"] If the threads are cut all the way through the caliper then that broken piece of bolt should turn freely now that there is no tension. Have you tried to turn it with a tool that fits snug in the hole, like maybe a phillips head screwdriver? If it is stuck, then I'd try some heat, like Twigg suggested. That will loosen any thread locker that may be on it, and it will actually expand the hole so the bolt can break free. Apply the heat to the caliper, not the bolt. [/QUOTE]
