gavinvr6 0 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 guys and gals. my rear brakes are shagged. i have mot coming up early next month and really need to get the disks and pads done, however the caliper carrier bolts refuse to move. ive used the correct allen bit on a breaker bar and just managed to part chew up the allen bolt. its still usable but partially rounded. i cant get the gits undone to do the rear brakes. i dont have access to flash tools or impact guns just a simple socket set and spanners. can anyone help please saturday morning. i'll give beer tokens if someone can just undo all 4 bolts. i have 4 new ones so method is up to u just dont go snapping the heads off or anything as need the car saturday afternoon and sunday.

gavinvr6 0 Posted October 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 been wetting down the bolt heads and between the carrier and stub axle daily with a smidge of wd. then bashed a 15mm 12point socket on the one giving me jip and propper leaned on it. had to almost snap the breaker bar on all 4 bolts as they were rusted solid. on the last bolt i wasnt paying attention and the socket slipped, i ended up face planting the floor givin myself a bloody nose and 2 fat lips. but even then mr impatiant didnt come out and i just cracked on. the saying blood sweat and tears is right, thats for sure lol Link to post Share on other sites
