Changing brake pads on 6 cyl. 93 Chevy Lumina?
Trying to change the back brakes (pads) on my 6 cyl. 93 Chevy Lumina - Having no problem with the bottom Bolt using a ratchet but the top bolt won't budge! Can't fit the ratchet in with the space I have so using a wrench with leverage bar and I don't want to strip it. WD-40 won't loosen it.......Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance ;o)
If you are just changing the brake pads, you can get that top caliper bolt with a deep well socket. If you are removing the caliper bracket, you will need a T-60 Torx socket, and alot of strength. They use Lok-Tite on those threads from the factory, due to a TSB on 1988 to 1992 models' Torx bolt coming loose. When I worked in a shop, we would heat up that caliper bracket where the bolt goes through the steering knuckle, and put a 2 foot long pipe on the ratchet. You may also want to turn the wheel all the way out. That will give you more access to get the leverage with the long bar on the ratchet. Good luck.
