I decided to clean up and drill a few more holes for the safety wire clips in the front caliper mounting bolts. The bolt laying on the vise to the right is the slightly corroded bolt and the left one has been polished.
This cut off wheel for the Dremel tool shows the quick release style hole for the new style arbor. I found this setup makes changing out the wheels a heck of a lot quicker.
Once I polished the heads of the bolts I hit them with a little clear laquer in an effort to keep them from corroding again.
If you're going to attempt bolt drilling for safety wire, stock up on 1/16" hardened drill bits.
I drilled the heads out on every flat of the socket head making it easier to position the clips where they would line up properly. That neat Park Tool makes it easy to hold different diameter bolts in the vise. Handy.
A small adjustable angled vise makes it easy to hold bolts firmly on the drill press. Don't forget the oil for cooling the drill bit.
Gotta have a drill press.
The Dremel (Sears actually) tool with the polishing quick-release wheel.
