Brake Caliper Bolt Stuck !!!! HELP !!!
Hi,
My DYI project (thanks to honda-acura.net). Anyways my 02 accord lx v6 started making grinding noises and became louder each day. So I got new brake pads and browsed the forums here.
Jacked the car. Removed the wheel. Removed the caliper bolts and and saw that the inner brake pad has totally (i mean even the steel at the bottom of the pad was showing) but the outer pad had almost half of it's juice left. On inspection I found that the top caliper bracker bolt (the place where the caliper bolt screws into) has jammed but the bottom one has a spring action to it. I screwed the piston in but the caliper wouldn't clamp on since the top bolt doesn't get pushed in like the bottom one.
I tried spraying WD40 and hammering/tapping it lightly to see if it frees up but it didn't. Any help on how to free it would be great.
Thanks.
