brake caliper removal problem

i was doing my brakes on my 06 civic sedan lx. i did the driver side first and everything goes fine. i proceed to the passenger side i remove the top bolt on the caliper, and notice it was very difficult to remove, but i got it off. then i proceeded to the bottom bolt and it would not budge. i worked on the one bolt for about 2 hours and no love.

anyone have this same problem? or just any info at all

Re: brake caliper removal problem

Just take long bar and upgrade on your wrench with 6 angle ( don't try multiangle it wheel destroy your bolt head) and take off.

Next time don't put anything on bolt, remove rust and tight to recommended torque.
