I have disc brakes in the back. Both parking brake cables were frozen. Purchased two new cables from Ford. Found that one side rotor was frozen solid. took caliper off and piston was locked tight as well as pad was cocked in caliper. I was amazed that Auto Zone had a rebuilt caliper in stock. They were around 39 dollars each. So I picked up two of them. I put the rebuilt caliper on the drivers side with no problems. Went to passenger side and begain to take out the bolts holding the caliper to wheel. Bottom one came out ok, top one would not budge. Used PB spray on it and I still could not remove it. These bolts have the Torx head on them. Tried again and my torx bit became stripped. Sprayed some more, waited and purchased another torx bit and tried it again. Same thing, stripped this one also. Started to use a chisel on it and I have about a quartr of the bolt chiseled away and it still would not budge..... I Really don't want to have to pull the rear knuckle off to get to this....Anyone have an suggesttions?
Thanks,
Bob
