anybody ever had problems getting front caliper pin bolts out. bought the torx bit and had it snap in two on me. any suggestions 02 silverado

 

I stripped mine cuz it was so tight. So I just take the whole caliper off by taking the back bolts off when I change out brakes. Much easier.

 

Might try spraying a can full of penetrating oil on the bolts and letting them sit - follow directions on the can. After they soak a bit, you could try giving the head of the bolt a good whack with a mallet. Don't use a hammer because it might damage the head. Maybe put a block of wood over the head of the bolt and then hit it. Might break it loose.

Sounds like ruffneck's suggestion might be easier, tho. I haven't tried it. Good luck!!!

 

Just take the back bolts off of the caliper, pull it off and change the pads. You will need to take the caliper assembly off to get the disc off anyways. You should think about turning your disc's when you change pads.

 

Make sure you bed the pads in (Like the manufacturer says to) reguardless of whether you turn the rotors or not.
