Removing caliper bolts

[Ezvalet]

It gets worse than that. Japanese bikes are build to JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard). Metric is metric. But their Phillips head screws aren't Phillips. They're JIS. I learned this after gumming out some with a Phillips driver. After drilling these out I replaced the first bike's and current bike's screws with Allen screws.

Hah. I know. I have a set of their impact screw drivers. Crazy Smart to change them out with Allen screws. For sure

And when you say bikes, it also applies to Japanese bicycle parts!
