I went to change the rear rotors and found that one of the caliper bracket bolts on each side on my Integra had the head rounded. I tried the Craftsman kit and it worked.


The Craftsman damaged bolt remover is amazing! Pure genious design, who ever thought of that was brillant: the spiral flutes.
Got both bolts off with some muscle. As long as it wasn't slipping it was easy to work with. I found one of the sliders seized. Has anyone free-ed up a slider? I have it soaking in oil. Or if anyone has a rear bracet for a 94 Integra let me know.

 

man i wish i knew about this friday... i was installing my short shifter and the bolt holding one of the bushings is rounded... so i just left it. i'll get it out another day.

 

that happend to my lca's and those show my pain

 

pics dont work

 

I've freed up those pins, I soaked it in degreaser for 30 minutes or so then used some vice grips and twisted it back and forth eventually it came out and i wirebrushed it all so it was smooth and clean and then greased it up and put it back together.

 

i've used those to take off a few messed up bolts

 

Something that should be in every persons Toolbox

 

Ive always been a fan of using an impact gun the first time around. No nut can resist that pulsating action.

But yeah, I've had to use those bolt out things once before, and they work great. Plus if they break, you can take them back and get new ones. Craftsman

 

Ya I went to town on it w/ a rubber mallet, it came lose.

What do you guys use for lubrication on your brakes.

Currently I use:

a)Anit Seize for the pad sliding area (because it doesn't wash off)
b)Silicon grease in the slider boot assym

 

I use anti sieze on everything.

Try soaking it is a penetrating oil, on even WD40, and as others have said try to work it out and clean the hell out of it.
