Ok, so my friend and I are replacing his brakes. We needed two new calipers (front left, right rear), all new disks and pads. Well everything is peachy until we try to take the right rear caliper off. We couldnt get the caliper itself off of the braket! The retard who did brakes last time put a shitty boot on the guide pin and the thing wont come off. We got a new caliper, now we just need a bracket, but they arent even made any more. We hit up all the junk yards around town, but no luck. Its an AWD, would that bracket thing from a FWD work? Its a 1991, the car is in my sig. Thanks for the help.

Soak it up with wd40 or the pbb blaster stuff...I'd keep trying it and letting it soak over night. Might be hard to find an awd 1g laying around in the junk yards as you already found out. Good luck!

Are you saying that you never got the caliper off? If so I had the same problem I ended up using alot of WD40 and a gift from god...a breaker bar (the most useful tool in a pinch). Good luck hope you have better luck then you have been.
