This is kind of a TR6 question, even though it can apply to any car.
I sent an e:mail a month or so ago asking about mechanic recommendations in
the Cleveland area for front brakes rebuild.
Well, I ended up doing it myself (or at least 1/2 of it so far). I managed to
get the caliper off the passenger side, install new pistons/seals, pads, and a
new disc. Checked the run-out, end float - all looked good. "Hey - this
isn't too tough!"
Then I went to the drivers side.
After a full can of PB Blaster, I still can't get the top caliper 3/4" bolt
out. I wrenched it, slugged it, impacted it, swore at it.... But it won't
budge. I'm afraid of rounding it off. I'm going to try a little heat next
(butane torch near the hub casting where the bolt threads are).
Any other suggestions??
Thanks,
