Ok, so I just got some new wheels powder coated and I'm lookin to put my front rotors back on. The allen bolts that hold the rotors on are these proprietary "ALOC" bolts and as I'm looking at them, the heads are nearly stripped so I don't want to use them again (previous owner obviously screwed them up).
Stupid honda has the bloody button head allen bolts that have an M6 thread with a 15mm button head that accepts a 6mm allen key.
Has anyone replaced these with a different bolt? There is no fucking way I am giving Honda $50 for 12 new bolts
The torque spec on them is only 14ft/lbs so if I use an M6 allen with a 4mm head it should be fine but they will need to be loc-tite'd. If I use blue loc-tite I'm wondering if I'll be able to get them out again with a 4mm allen wrench.
