<p>Scenario...</p>
<p>my left front brake started to hum while breaking. (light breaking). so i thougt it may be time for pads. the surface of the disk was smooth and not needing turned or anything. anyways, i took off the wheel and noticed that the allen bolt that holds one the disk has broken off. i thought that maybe the cause of humming. (since there was still life left on the pads) i drilled threw that bolt and used pb plaster and let it set for an hour or so. then i hammerd a tork head into there and tried to break it out. i must of had a piece of shit one because that broke off in there. and im thinking is this allen bolt in the hole tighten really nessary?</p>
<p> my question is, is it?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>any sugustions?</p>

<p>thanks-zach</p>

There is a small allen bolt that holds the rotor onto the hub, it can be left out but makes it a pain to get the rotor, wheel, and hub all lined back up and the lugbolts threaded back in.

There was a discussion earlier about how important the set screw is , a lot of people don't use them, a lot of people do. Make life easier and just keep them :P

oh man... i broke the upper timing belt tensioner bolt, then a drill bit, and an easy out bit. Trust me... your problem is eeeeaaasy. Anyway, if you can't get the drilled out with a regular drill, get a carbide bit, they'll chew through anything. Just don't break one of those.. My girlfriend's dad is a machinist, and he was able to make a couple. I don't think they sell that stuff in stores, maybe a machine shop can hook you up.

That happened to me when I was working on bimmerphile's car- Take the closest sized bit to the inner thread diameter you can get. I think I took a couple of the hub threads with me, but I got the bolt out and a new one screws in fine.
