Default 2000 EX Coupe Disc Brake top bolt hard to remove

Having issues getting the top bolt off of the front disc brake.

I have tried PB lube to help loosen. I have issue with
both front brake.

I must be doing something wrong.

Because you've rounded the **** out of it. Are you using the correct size socket or wrench? Lefty loosey...

I didn't ask if you used the same wrench. The only tools that should be touching that bolt are either a 6 point, 10mm socket, or a 6 point, 10mm wrench. If you're using something else, stop. Go spend the $2 to buy the correct tool. It's also quite clear from the way it's rounding that you aren't fully seating the tool on the bolt (you're doing it wrong), and that you aren't applying even force (you're doing it wrong).

Stop doing it wrong. Stop using the wrong tool.
