I'm changing my front brake pads on a 1998 ranger....got the calaper off and new pads installed. I go to put the calaper back on the bracket and the top pin that the monting bolt screws into is frozen (pin with rubber boot on it that bolt screws into). How do I get it loose or do I have to buy a new calaper bracket? I have tried a shop hammer (carefully not to bend it). I put a 11/16 on it since it has two flat sides and tried to turn it, turn it with hammer hitting wrench.
I have called it off for the night....put some wd40 to soak the pin (careful not to get any on pads or rotors since I covered everthing up with an old towel)
Help....may have to put the old pad back on and go to shop or check if new calaper bracket comes with new monting pins that the bolts screw into.
