Rear Base Caliper Removal
 
I’ve been through some hardships in my life, and I’ve endured a lot of pain but holy **** I can’t get these damn rear caliper bolts off. I spent 3 hours and nothing budged. I’ve gone through almost a whole bottle of pb blaster, a lot of elbow cartilage and some teary eyes. Do I give up? I just wanted to install my extended studs and spacers :( I’ve already looked at other threads but I’m not really down to use heat mainly bc I don’t have a torch.

If you have room to swing, give the bolt heads a few good whacks with a hammer.

If you tried everything and can not get the bolts off take your Z to a reputable shop that you trust. Sometimes person wait so long that these bolts become seized. Bolts could have also been over torqued as well?

I can't picture in my head how those specific bolts are oriented, but in the past I have been able to put a long breaker bar on some bolts, and use a floor jack to raise the end of the breaker bar like it was nothing.
