Hey, im trying to get my brake pads off right now, and it is HELL! I dont know why.. but heres he situation? Which bolts do i need to take off on the back of the caliper? Also, the bolts are SOOOO damn tight, how can i get them off without stripping the hell out of em? Also, a few are already rounded a bit, how the hell can i get them off? Can someone hook me up with a link or something..

My car is a 91 CRX HF. Thank you.

 

Can someone at least tell me how i can get striped or stuck bolts to come off!

 

before you strip them to bad, get access to a good torch, heat is the best, I had the same problem on my del sol about month ago, I actually ended up having to cut through the inside part of the bolt(in caliper) and use new sleeves and bolts, new bolts wouldnt be a bad idea considering the age of your car, they are kinda pricey from the honda dealer, I think like 6 or 7bucks a piece, youll need two for each side. unless you think you can reuse them, your really only need to undo the two bolts from each caliper to pull out pads.

 

Spray liberally, go hang out, then wrench those suckers off.

 

this should help you figure out what bolts you need to remove:

that stuff is my best friend

 

Thanks a ton guys! I was about to torch the ***** off, and noticed the 12mm socker i was using was contributing to the prob. It was my friends dads tools. So i bummed a ride across town, picked up my tools, and BAM! Got back and took the pads off and new ones on in under 10 mins!

I got a new sorta weird prob tho. When i brake, the car kinda shakes. THe rotors seemed to be in okay condition, what else could cause this? Thanks!
