ota 4runner its an 87 and the bolts that hold the calipers on are cross threaded whats the best way to get them out weve tried impact wrenches torq wrenches etc
well, ur screwed. if you get them out, they aint goin back in either.
call me to set up a fishing trip too. monday or tuesday ok?
we already have the new rotors calipers and pads so i dont care if we mess any of those up
If they are crossed thread, aren't they stripped then?
If they simply aren't moving, get a 2' breaker bar and spray the bolts good with PB Blaster and let is soak awhile. Maybe that will get them out. You could also add more leverage with a long pipe put onto the breaker bar.

Is there any way to get a cuttin wheel in there or maybe even torch them off since you are replacing everything???
I'm with Bones on this one, once you get them out then you can put a helicoil in place,,,,bing bang boom.
Id@
the impact wrench should take car of them set it on the highest torque setting and let it rip if that doesnt do it than i guess try a breaker bar but if the impact doesnt get it it might take a breaker bar larger than 2'
we have a 6' pole we use (maybe a lil overkill but it works with ease most of the time). we have a thick gray pvc type one and a metal one like used for a fence.
her freinds dads got a shop and hes drillin the old calipers off and installing new rotors pads and calipers for $60 we already have the parts though
