Torch. Just torch them out. Lots of oxygen. [sm=badbadbad.gif]



Naw, don't do it. Just like some have said. It'll take a little wack to get em' out. The vise grips idea worked for me.

Torch. Just torch them out. Lots of oxygen. [sm=badbadbad.gif]
It looks as if im going to have to break out the old oxy torch becuase ive taken off the brakes (who ever though it was a good idea to put the parking brake line right the F in front of the lower caliper bolt deserves to die a thousand deaths!) and i tried to pound the bolt through but only got it flush. Punch didnt work. Vice grips didnt work. I talked to my mustang mechanic and he said either torch them or cut the bolts out with something like a sawzall or a cut off wheel. Eitherway i gave up on it for the night and will have to pick back up on it tomorrow. This may be the longest LCA job in history haha! See what happened what the inner metal sleave was plastered to the bolt and broke off from the rubber bushing so thats why it was just spinning in place. Who knows. All i know is im glad im a FF and not a tech for a living. I would much rather run into burning buildings every day than have to work with Ford's engineering "genious"
