brake caliper bolts $ seized brakes

[thejum57]

Do the two front brake calpier bolts come all the way out? I've been loosening them for a while and they are still in there. Trying to remove the calipers and pads to try to free up the wheel. Both front wheels are seized up from sitting 5 years. Or am I going about this the wrong way? Any suggestions?

Thanx in advance,

Jim

Those bolts look like they’re out. Try pushing them through from the other side. But if you say the brakes are seized, then that’s probably why they’re fighting you to come off.

Now that they’re unscrewed, use needle nosed pliers to pull them out. The fit is snug in the rubber boots.

If they are really stuck, a pair of needle nosed ViseGrips might be needed.
