    I need to change the rear rotors and pads on my 95 V6.

    Got the top bolt on the caliper out, but the bottom is basically frozen, and the brake line is in the way.

    Any suggestions/tips/how-to's on how to get this done?

    Thanks!

    I just did mine yesterday also. You need to use a box ended wrench. I would suggest a ractheting set, (Yeah another reason for more tools). Take a rubber mallet and tap it until it comes out.

    I broke a bolt on the caliper also.

    Just make sure to get the rotors turned so that there is no squeaks and everything.

    If you need more help PM or email me.

    i had to replace the pads in my car this past fall, and what i did is took a ratchet and put a hyraullic jack under the handle to get them loose, thank god craftsmen replaces broken tools for free :D , but the bolts for my calipers and such were rusted in there like you wouldnt beleive, but take a ratchet and put a jack under it and they should come loose...
