Hey there all, I am in need of help. I am doing my brakes for the first time myself. I have run into a problem. The 4x14mm rear and 4x17mm front caliper bolts are seized for the caliper bracket are seized. I have tried rust check with a breaker bar, also an impact gun to get them off. But nothing worked. Only other idea i have is to heat them up and take them off. But not sure if that will work. Please let me know any other ideas you have please. Also, i am in need of the two back ones for the suspension. both bushings have ripped on me and i am swaying every now and again when i am on the highway. Please let me know where i can find those. Thanks all.

Thats what had to be done to mine. All but one bolt came out fine. Had to torch it.

impact gun should get it off bro, option 2 is heat it until its red and it will spin off easy

you have settings on the impact gun. did you even attempt to shoot oil??? like wd-40??
the only way i can think atm is bang it, then use impact at the lowest setting and tighten the bolt a little, and then used the mid setting on the impact and try to loosen it. repeat when neccessary.
