FAMILY MAN Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Hi, I was changing my j/spec front calipers to 4 pot UK ones today but I couldn't get the the bolts holding on the j/spec carriers to move. Was just working of a trolley jack in the driveway and couldn't get any leverage less the spanner.Has anyone had this problem I thought it was going to be a straight forward job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommyd16 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I had the same issue last week. Lucky I have use of a ramp. I bought a blow torch from b&q and heated the bolts up then got underneath with a breaker bar. Needed quite abit of force, but once they were cracked they came off with a ratchet quite easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraP-Z Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I had to resort to buying an impact wrench to undo mine...only to find out it barely fit behind the wheel arch - the gun was too big lol. interlocked Spanners and a heavy mallet did the job nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
