you have got to some how get a hobby tool ie dremel with a thin cutting wheel and cut a groove so you can use a flat head screwdriver

You could also use a small easy out bit. That's what I do when a dremel wheel won't fit.

Break out the torches!


j/k the dremel with small cutting tool works like a charm, make a small cut and then use your thin tuning screw driver to unscrew it.

It's the little set screw that holds the brake arm on. Just drill it out with a small bit and be gentle, you may have to replace the brake cam or whatever it's called if you can't get the setscrew pieces out of the threads.....

I call it a collar. You may have to cut it off and just get new collars. These grub screws are easy to strip out or cross-thread from over tightening or worn out hex drivers.
