Hi,
I'm trying to do some basic DIY with my car, so I might make this forum a regular visit At the moment, since I'm trying to replace the brake pads, rotor and bearing on a wheel - I'm at the first point of actually trying to unscrew the brake calliper. I've found the correct socket size bit for my wrench, jacked up the car and have it on a stand, but even with some heft force, those break caliper screws are not coming off.
How much pressure can I apply here? Should I bang at my wrench handle with a hammer? Or spray some WD40 on the screws? ...The wheel itself was a pain to get off, I had to drive it round the block with the lug nuts loose just to free it up!
Many thanks! (it's an '98 Daihatsu Cuore 850cc)
