removing stucked screw of rear break saddle
Hi,
Pretty new to this forum and a beginner of HD maintainance. So if the question too simple sorry for it, though i really need help.
I just bought my 1986 Elektra Glide. The rear break pads need to be urgently changed. The lower screw of the brake saddle (is this the correct name for the thing keeping the pads in position and push them together???) was in good shape and was removed without problem, but the upper one is broke. I think someone used incorrect tools to fasten it and now it seems to impossible to remove it. The middle portion is widened so the tool does not fit. Any idea how to remove it?
regards

Brake caliper.
If it's an Hexagon shape it's an Allen bolt/screw(6 sides)it may be possible to drill the head off.
