im takin off the rear drivers side caliper but the bottom bolt is bein a pain. the e-brake cable is just close enough to the nut so that i cant get a socket around it and when i try to use a regular open end wrench, it slides off the nut from the vibration when i go to hit it with a hammer. i tried holding the wrench with one hand and hitting it with the hammer in my other hand but it's not workin out lol. any tips?

Get a bigger hammer.

I used a socket and a mini sledge hammer (3lb). The socket was tight against the e-brake cable on mine too, but i got it. Put some WD-40 on there too. GL

alright, ill give it another shot

you might have to use an extension w/ that socket (3in). I can't remember if i used one or not to fit around that e-brake cable.

Use a 12mm closed end wrench. Tap it with a hammer and it will bread loose.

the lug swap went good, everything went smooth except for that bottom caliper bolt. the old lug came out fairly easy, but i had to wiggle the new one around a little bit to get it into place. but other than that everything went well
