Exclamation Help! Help! Help!

I started my art rotor/ pad install but cant get the two support bolts for the caliper housing to budge! With out removing that, I cant get the
rotor off. I tried using some liquid wrench, but still cant move them. Does anyone have any other suggestions? I'm only working with hand
tools, not compressed air. This is killing me,


thanks

To replace my rotors I used a 17mm 6 point socket and a Craftsmen 1/2 drive breaker bar. Depending on which side I was doing I had to grab the car with one or two hands and push on the bar with my foot. If you have time you may want to try soaking them for a few days with PB Blaster (best penetrant around) and then try. I'd avoid heating them if at all possible. I also don't own any pneumatic tools and have managed to take most stuff on the car apart without them.

Good luck.
