Hi All,

Anyone have any advice on removing the front calipers on a 1982 240? I've got a shiny new set of wheel bearings and these $#*&! bolts have me stopped cold.

There's not much room to swing my favorite breaker bar & torque multiplier device (some old pipe!) I've got the thing soaked to the hilts with liquid "wench" and they're not budging. They've probably never been removed - are they usually a bitch to get off? I know they're torqed down with loctite, that and 20yrs of heat treatment...

Even in I had air, I doubt I could get the impact wrench into a decent position.

Greg
