Default caliper brakcket super hard to take off..

on a bb1 lude.. im trying to put on some new rotors and i cant get either of the bolts for the caliper braket to budge. tried wd40, using ahammer to hit the rachet, and a breaker bar too, but there isnt too much space to turn either with the breaker bar either.

wish i had alift

I suggest some pb blaster to start off. Spray it and let it soak in for a couple days. Continue to spray every day for those days also. And for a lift try to get a hook up from a friend or family u could use for a couple hours. There has to be someone and basically u need some air tools it is a pain in the *** otherwise

u can take it apart two ways

1 remove the whole caliper with braket
take off the two 17 mm bolts

2 remove it by the caliper the two 10mm bolt

if both r stuck and u don t have air tools
put everything back go to a shop and pay them $10 to loosen the bolts
beats stressing out!

the next problem u ill have is takeing out the screws on the caliper u may need a impact driver
