brake caliper bolts

[4wheelslide]

I have been trying for 45 minutes to get the front brake caliper bolts loose on this 95. I have soaked it in break-free, but they won't budge. I have twisted the top right off two extensions, and put a wrench over a wrench for leverage, nothing. :angry4: this is really making me mad. any advice?

nevermind. If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger breaker bar. now the new springs are on the car. I am pleased. The front was @ 2 1/2 hours to do, once I got a big breaker bar, and the rear took less than an hour. There is a visible drop, but not as low as I expected, but I was told the springs will settle... now I have to loosen the x-pipe and etc and push it up a bit higher...

yea the springs will settle over the next few days.

So, it did settle a bit, has a great stance now. Corners very well! And it seems quicker, I deduce that it's just a more efficient transfer of energy, right? But, I loosened my x-pipe and pushed it up like I said and I had great clearance for about a day, it came back down? What the? I had that sucker tight, too. It isn't the best fitting x-pipe, the place where it goes under the trans cross member seems to be too narrow. The pipe doesn't set up in the space it's meant to. There is also no support for it in that area, I have seen a magnaflow version that had a cross brace that bolted to the cross member, this pipe has only a couple rods welded to it and no way to secure them to the car.
