I had to remove the front wheel this weekend.
As I was removing the front brake calliper the one bolt was very stubborn the whole way out.  ??? Looked at the tread nothing, and then I looked at the thread on the calliper,, stripped.
I tried but for the life of me I could not get the bolt back in all the way.

Now what do I do, I can think of 2 options:

1. Replace calliper with either a new one or a second hand one if I can find one, cost?
2. Get it welded up and re-threaded.

What do the clever people think?  ;D
