never done a brake job, read quite a few DIY's and printed out the pad replacement doc.
got the caliper off, pads out, saw how the new ones go in, blah blah.
got to the caliper bracket bolts.
The top one came out, i think i just used my 3" 14mm socket.
the bottom one sucks!
cant get my wrench/sockets attached anyway but using my 3" 14mm, with 2 more 3" extensions. Used liquid wrench, and a 3lb sledge, but the **** thing wont budge, mostly because with all the extensions its not so tight fitting. I can't find any other way to get a wrench or socket on there, since its recessed behind a big piece of steel.
i've heard of an offset wrench being a good way to get it out, no need for extensions. where can I find one of these? / has any one had good luck with this method.
My car grew up in NY, and is covered in rust. I don't have the tools to measure the rotors thickness, so i just bought new ones as they look quite rusty and beat up.
any help getting that bottom caliper bracket bolt out?
