Hi and thanks for quick reply. Yeah I think I got in way over my head here. The mounting hole is metal.. No bikeshop around here, living on an island. Im guessing it is standard to braze fit them or something like it? By the look of the threaded hole there's not really signs of heat.
Locktite seems like a brilliant idea.

Ok I see, but here it was all my fault. Took it out with less than a kilo of force I would guess. Maybe its too much wear in the bushing and new brake is needed ..? Sigh.
