Changed the front brake pads on my R56 cooper, and on the last caliper bolt to be done, my torque wrench decided to become faulty and didn't stop when correct torque reached! Result.....bolt sheared off! Bummer!

Have managed to get the remaining broken bit of bolt out of the guide, but now need a bolt. It's the one for the top guide pin.

Anyone got any kicking around going spare?

Ta!

Got it fixed! £16 for two blooming bolts from Vary MINi though, felt like I'd just been mugged! Glad she's back on the road though!

Oh, forgot to ask, the wee torx screw that holds the brake disc on, anyone know what size it is? None of my toes bits fit it. I take it it'll need to be an impact torx for that?

Gonna be changing the discs as they're pretty worn.
