caliper bracket hex bolts?? 700 1985

I don't recall what the clearance is around these bolts, but if you have room, heat it with a propane torch. (You can get one at the hardware store for $10-$15.) I never work on the underside of my cars without mine. Bolts that won't budge will effortlessly twist off after about 60 seconds of heat applied. You'll wonder how you ever got by without one.

BTW: In tight spots, where heat sensitive parts are near by, a piece of aluminum flashing works great as a heat shield.
