Time is not a problem. At 220lbs, strength is not a problem. Mental state is a problem.

This car came without working rear brakes, enough red loctite to keep the front brake pads from moving, and more under car rust than a 1950's car that has been in the junk pile for 60 years. Except where the oil ran down the sides of the block.

My guess is that the PO poured loctite on the bracket bolts, rather than the small dab that the factory puts on.

I have done the brakes on every car I have owned. With this one, it felt like I was about to lift the car off the jack stand!
