The lastest:
-Plastic wrap trick worked great ... popped on a new brake hose today and minimal fluid spillage resulted. Thanks.
-I got one brake caliper bolt loose thanks to PB Blaster and a really big hammer. The top one won't move for love nor money. I doused it with PB Blaster, and just for good measure, sprayed some PB Blaster in my face as well. I'm beating the life out of my socket wrench to no avail (I tried a 6pt socket, no luck there, either). I think I can fit an impact wrench on it ... any harm in resorting to that? If it'll fit back there it seems an easy out. If not, should I try heating the bolt? I'm a little worried about torching the area, although since I'm replacing the caliper maybe it wouldn't matter.
-I love spring. It was 50 degrees out today and sunny and it felt like paradise compared to what we've had. Then I had to go to work. Have I ever mentioned I hate my job?
