v brake screw in bosses

[mcshroom]

Right I'm overhauling my rockrider mtb after it has been left outside for too long

I just unscrewed the rear brakes to replace the ones that were rusted pretty solid, but the brakes took the bosses out of the frame with them and I can't get the bosses back off of the brakes.

Does anyone know where I can get hold of some v-brake bosses to screw in so that i can put some brakes back on the bike please?

Same thing happened to me once. AFAIK they come in different sizes, usually M8 or M10, make sure you get the right ones.

Thanks for the replies, I struck lucky in my LBS this lunchtime in the end. They had a couple lying around from someone who had converted a fork to disk only, and they were a perfect fit.

I tried soaking the old ones in WD40, then moved on to Cola overnight but they wouldn't budge.
