as the sun came out decided to come home and do my new discs and pads,but the 2 bolts in the cradle that holds the caliper. the first one ive managed to round oof it must be in thier tight. i did wack a socket on to it but just rounded it more what are my options now. a match or lighter.

I know you say it's rounded off but were you using a multspline type socket of a 6 sided socket? Your find a 6 sided socket tends to drive on the flats rather than the points. From experience your need a pretty long breaker bar to shift those bolts they are pretty tight and do take a load of abuse what with water,salt and brake dust.

They are also thread locked from the factory.

If six sided socket doesn't work. Acquire a new bolt first. Then drill the head off the old one.
