WisconsinSS Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Hey I am looking for ideas. I am trying to replace the front brake rotors on my son's 94 grand prix. I can't get the bolts that hold the caliper holder out. They are the big ones with the t-60 torx head. I bent my breaker bar . Any ideas? heat, C-4 ? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterp Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 (edited) Soak morning and night with WD-40; try to loosen again every night, but it might take 2-5 days time for the oil to penetrate the rust. I just did it a month ago on my frozen exhaust collector nuts and it worked fantastic. (edit - it only took 36 hours) Mr. P.

fox_forma Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 also could try that liquid wrench stuff, it has helped me out a few times with bolts that were stuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tawss04 Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 I came across the too many times when Iworked at the dealer. Broke a few sockets and breaker bars. Heating them up with a torch will work just fine. They lock tight them in from the factory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
