Cant get front caliber mounting bracket bolts off

Question

i have a 1994 Pontiac grand prix se coupe and i can not get the caliber mounting bracket bolts off. i have tryed everything....heat,impack gun, breaker bar, and breaking rust free with hammer and wd40 but they just wont budge.

Answer 1

You better just take it in then before you break something. Then your screwed!

Answer 2

You need to use a 4 foot breaker bar.

Answer 3

Try heating the housing, not the bolt. This may cause enough expansion in the housing to break it loose with a breaker bar. You may be able to put pressure with breaker bar and tap bar with hammer after you have heated up the housing. A helper would be handy!

Good luck!

Answer 4

channel locks and long pipe...keep soaking with WD-40

Answer 5

tear the boot away and use a small pipe wrench on it or vise grips.

Answer 6

I'm wondering why you need the brackets off. If your replacing pads you don't the brackets off.
