Jurgen -

If you are lucky, you can soak the allen screw in
WD40 or equal, drill it to accept an EzyOut, and use
the EzyOut (Spelling?) to remove the bolt.

If you are unlucky, you would need to drill the entire
length of the allen screw out of the wheel hub.

And if all fails, you would need to replace the wheel
hub.  But that should not be necessary if the above
two approaches are well done.

Good Luck

Brant

Subject: <E30 M3> rotor, stripped allen bolt

- ------------------------------
I used a drill the size of the screw head, and removed enough of the head to
pull the rotor off the hub. Then the remaining stub can be soaked and
removed with vice grips.
