Need help, can't get caliper off.
I can't remove the caliper, the mounting bolts won't budge.
Not enough room for an air wrench,
and even banging a hammer on a wrench won't budge 'um.
Any ideas on getting these damn things out?
I heard they had some kind of adhesive..

Try some liquid wrench and let it soak. I just did my brakes too and mine came off with some convincing. All I used were hand tools.

well... pass side was a BIOTCH.
Funny tho, driver's side came out EASILY.
this car brakes very nice with the bendix rotors and titanium pads.

Re: Need help, can't get caliper off. (Kale)
Brian, you pulled your rotors/calipers completely off? I need to repalce my brakes on my 87, and I wanna paint my calipers, but I heard they're hard to get off/on. So..are they? Do you have to pull out the piston on em or what?
