QUICK question: Caliper 19mm bolts?

[Mastrcruse]

Just a quick question, are the 19mm bolts on the caliper bracket reverse threaded or normal? I'm having a bitch of a time getting them off. Everything is a little rusty.

thanks for the help, I feel like I'm going to pick up the car while trying to get these things off.

PBlaster (or Kroil) and time are your friends when it comes to corrosion and the carrier bolts. Hit them with PBlaster each day for 3-4 days and then use a 1/2" drive six-point socket and a 24-36" breaker bar.

Use a breaker bar.

Those bolts are usually VERY tight. ^^^ Do like they said, PB Blaster or something of the like will help... some muscle too.

Got it, both are off. Thanks guys.

Are the rears the same process?

Yes. They should have 17 mm heads.
