04r1 Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Like title says, I have a 18mm bolt on a bracket that holds the caliper on the rear of my trailblazer I need out. It is rusted and I couldnt get it out even with my air tools. Im off tomorrow and would like to get this done in the morning. If anyone is of help let me know. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboRust Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 It's prolly not rusted, they use locktite on those things and they're in there stiff... Can you heat it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Bastard Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 if the bracket the caliper bolts to is removable with the caliper on it, it may be easier to take the whole thing off and put it in a bench vise, at least that way you would be able to get a giant cheater pipe or something on it and have the room to turn it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
