yep... still working on this 5-lug swap of mine...



still couldnt get the toe control bolt loose, so decided to give a crack at removing just the hub and not the whole assembly... removed both the screws that hold the disc on, and started trying to remove the caliper... when i BROKE the head off the top caliper bolt.... ****** god damnit... i dont even know what to do... i cant remove the caliper with the remainder of the bolt stuck and still remove the disc to get at the hub... and i cant get the toe control bolt loose...



****...

6 nuts and 2 brake lines, 2 e-brake cables and 4 d-shaft nuts the whole rear sub comes down. i think you might want to do that and take care of all the fucked up **** that is on the rear suspention man.

like the upper, lower and ddts bolts?



edit: ok i see... only problem im having there, is that i cant seem to break the ddts bolt loose... i would heat it up to break up the oxidation, but i also dont want to melt the bushing... any tips? would i be safe rigging up a long breaker bar... or would i risk also breaking the head off that bolt also

no there are 2 caliper bolts and two caliper bracket bolts, at least IIRC. just remove the 2 bigger caliper bracket bolts to remove the whole caliper as one piece.

Is it the bracket or the "top caliper bolt"?

yea im gonna go with i dont have a clue. even if you snap a bracket bolt you should be able to take the other off and then just jockey the whole caliper assembly off.
