Hey guys, encountered a (very) small problem with my bike that I need to get fixed before I do the 800 or so kms down to Christchurch next week.

Stupid really, I've stripped the screw on my front master cylinder, and not having much in the way of tools I just can't get it out, however in the process I've realised I don't just need to bleed the brakes, but replace the pads too, so might as well get that done as well. Could do it myself, but not much point if I can't bleed the brake anyway.

So, suggestions? I've emailed the Kawasaki dealers re prices on the pads, but as we all know the dealer stores aren't always cheapest, or best.

Thanks.

Hands down it would be AJ at Motohaus. I've used most of the dealers in Auckland, and they are the only ones I unreservedly trust with my bikes.

Just drill the screw out

That will be very difficult with no drill.

If I was at home (in CHCH) I'd prob just drill and ezi-out it (actully prob would never had stripped it cause I'd had the right tools!), but I'm not about to buy a drill and esi-outs just for this.

$20 drill from warewhare would be cheaper than the shop, but whatever
