Brembo idea
Hey guys, as i imagined would be the case my brembo bolts are seized on and i cant budge them for s***, as i work as an engineer/fitter on cranes i though i would ask 1 of my colleagues if they could think of something without snapping the head,
one of them has this device that works using electric coils you place onto the bolt and within seconds it has the bolt glowing, now the idea we have is that aluminium had a 2/1 ratio of steel of expansion so if we get the bolt glowing the alloy thread in the calliper should expand causing the bolt to spin out?
does this sound like a bad idea? i really dont know what else to do without snapping the bolt
Thanks Dan

I just bit the bullet and stomped on a breaker bar to snap the bolts. Was much quicker getting them drilled/coiled - and I know now that I can remove them whenever I want without drama due to my coils and some quantities of copper slip
