Today I changed my car's brake discs and pads. But I had to drill out the disc retaining screws as even an impact hammer would not remove them.
I didn't anticipate this happening so I had no replacement. So I just refitted with new parts minus the screw.
But I would like to replace the screw before too long, as I need new tyres soon and the garage wont that me for allowing the discs to rotate when fitting the wheel.
I drilled out most of the old screw and obvious enough of the head for it to release the disc. But inside the thread I can clearly see some of it remaining.
Do I just need to retap the thread and fit the new screw? Or is there another method.
Thanks for any advice.
