I just painted mine on my last brakes and they looked okay, once there off without a caliper compressing tool its a PITA to get them back on.

those bolts are pretty stuborn... some sort of penetrant should be in order. make sure you dont contaminate your brake pads/ rotors! Obviously... lol

Just use a breaker bar and I think 12mm socket. It's stubborn, but it will work out.

but be careful not to break the bolt

best thing is sprat the bolts a couple times w/ pb blaster and then try a breaker bar or impact gun

Yeah if you have a little trouble just let Pb blaster soak for a little while.

Don't use a breaker bar unless it's the last resort. If your using a breaker bar that is 18-24" long you are putting close to 200ft lbs of force on that. You could very easily snap it right off. I would use a breaker bar as my last resort.

also you might want to spray w/ pb blaster wait, then tap the head w/ a hammer(do not pound it), then re-apply the pb blaster

PB Blaster and and Impact wrench did the trick with no sweat...

I gotta say... If it wasn't for PB Blaster I wouldn't have been able to take alot of things off my car haha...
