I have an 01 Jeep Grand Cherokee and my boyfriend is trying to work on replacing my front rotors and pads. The problem is we have this rusty bolt and it won't come loose. Does anyone have any other methods they use besides, PB Blaster or the like, or Air Tools that can help remove this bolt. It's the bolt that connects the calliper (sp?) to the back of the rotor. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks.

 

they have a spray that you can buy at autostore's that helps some. i can't think of the name right now sorry! tell him to try some WD-40! spray it on there and, let it sit for a minute hope this help's some.

 

We tried the spray - that's what PB Blaster is. Thanks though.

 

ok then!

good luck with it!

 

propane torch? Get it hot and you have alot better chance of breaking it loose.

 

And how would I get my hands on that? And would I have to replace the bolt after that?

 

Propane torchs are cheap but you most likely know someone who has one. The bolt might need to be replaced it just depends on if it comes out easy after its hot. If it comes out easy and you clean up the bolt you should be ok.

You can pick up a torch about anywhere they run of the propane used in camping and work pretty well.

Where you live anyway?

 

We live in Town N Country. This is probably a stupid question but can you rent something like that? We're on a tight budget so anything cheap/free is VERY good!

 

Bleh, just let the Liquid Wrench/PB Blaster/WD40/etc. soak in for a half hour. Then go at it with a breaker bar.

 

You haven't tried a breaker bar yet? If you get a big ass pipe and stick it over the wrench, ratchet or whatever you should be able to break it free.
