Im trying to install some SKS bluemels mudguards onto my road bike, which requires the brake caliper to be removed and slotted on, with the brake calipers to be refitted on top.
All was going well, until I removed the brake caliper. Instead of the recessed nut coming out of the bridge, as I turned the allan key it stayed in the bridge and pushed the caliper through bolt out away from it. I then tried to unscrew the nut but started rounding the head, so I abandoned ship and awkwardly had to screw the bolt back into the nut from the other side.
The brakes are Claris (I know. Winter bike). Any advice on how to get this nut out? Assuming its smooth like the left caliper pictured, should I try pliers on the outside and just yanking it?
