Help!! Now,...I'm changing pads and rotors
Im on my third wheel; driver's front. And the caliper bracket's top bolt is a biotch!!!
THEY ALL ARE!! Its hard to get a monkey wrench in there (unlike the rears) but it seems like thats THE ONLY THING I can use to loosen them so far!! The socket and other wrenches just striped these bolts! So ya,..they are pretty much stripped!!
The slider bolts were a piece a cake though. Someone help me out here!!

At this point you may need lots of heat but be careful of the brake fluid and rubber components. ONLY use 6 point sockets on these bolts, never 12 point, as they will round off. Make sure your sockets are the right size too, they should fit snuggly on bolt heads. Lots of cheap sockets out there that fit poorly, or people mixing metric and sae with poor loose fit between socket and bolt head.

i had trouble with them to but i put the car in the air and turned the wheel out so i could put a long *** pipe on the end of my ratchet for more leverage. liquid wrench helps too. be careful not to break the heads off the bolts if you do use a pipe on there.
