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.

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.
